You enter the color of a line as an integer from -32768 to 32767. The color
that an integer corresponds to depends on the current video mode. AcroSpin
always interprets color 0 to mean that the line shouldn't be displayed. Color
0 can be useful if you want to temporarily remove lines from the object without
removing them from the input file. Simply edit the input file and change the
color to 0 for the lines you wish to be undisplayed.
Currently, the maximum number of different colors available in the video modes
supported by AcroSpin is 256. The next object shows how colors 1 through 15
look on your system (color 0 is always the background color). Since AcroSpin
can change video modes via the M key, you may wish to see what colors are
available in the different modes that your system supports.
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/
