/* This function is handy for two things: */
/* 1. It allows you to use ASSEMBLER and C functions (like those in FUNCKY) */
/* with Clipper color settings FROM Clipper, as most of these routines */
/* require an integer representation of the color. */
/* */
/* 2. It can easily be modified to allow you to code color settings in C */
/* with Clipper-style strings. Handy for those of you (like me) who do */
/* cross-language applications. */
/* */
/* Syntax: */
/* */
/* attrib = attrval( ) */
/* */
/* for example, */
/* */
/* attrval( 'GR+' ) ==> 14 */
/* attrval( 'GR+/gb+' ) ==> 14 */
/* attrval( 'W*' ) ==> 135 */
/* attrval( 'R+' ) ==> 12 */
/* attrval( 'N/W+' ) ==> 120 */
/* */
/* any value above 128 will blink, unless you use something like dLesko's */
/* blinkbit(.f.) (see my message on KWIBBLE) which will enable you to */
/* have high-intensity background colors. */

    Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

    This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

    But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
