In "Epoch 4.0.3 of Wed Apr  8 1992 on porridge.cs.ucl.ac.uk (berkeley-unix)"

I using an SLC (SUN 4/20) with standard (non-greyscale) monitor, which
"dmesg" reports as "bwtwo0 at SBus slot 3 0x0 pri 7"

Epoch 4.0p0 was compiled under SunOS 4.1.1 with SUN cc.

The problem is that the reverse video "hot-spots" no longer appear,
although they are there in colour.

I have had a look at the code snippet:


    (if (> (number-of-colors) 2)
      (progn
        (setq Info-active-style (make-style))
        (set-style-background Info-active-style "red")
        (setq Info-inactive-style (make-style))
        (set-style-background Info-inactive-style "turquoise")
        (setq Info-underline-style (make-style))
        (set-style-underline Info-underline-style (foreground))
    ))

but I am still unclear what to try to make the reverse video appear.

Many thanks for any help,
Gordon Joly.
