OVERVIEW

This program is similar to others written in assembly language
but it is written entirely in C. It was done to show that such
a program in C is nearly as small and fast as is the assembly
version and is easy for the user to modify as desired.

The program displays the colors possible on a display. For each
color combination the attribute byte [background color << 4 |
foreground color] is shown in hex.

Use: ESC to exit

Installation: Must be installed in Desqview environment.
Requires a DV memory size of only 3k.
Must set the window size to 8 high and 49 wide.
Program generates colors so set Uses Own Colors.

Files:
colortbl.c the source file ( for MSC 4.0;
compile with small model and link
with stack of 150 bytes - IT IS
REALLY IMPORTANT to either use linker
directive to set stack or to use
EXEMOD. Microsoft's default stack size
is 2k and program will crash DV if
loaded into a 3k segment.)
colortbl.exe compiled version of above - fits in 3k
with room to spare!
