You've been hoodwinked by Borland; they have led you to believe that those
functions you listed are some sort of standard.  They are not. They are
borlandisms that they invented.

There are two portable (across compilers) way to use text colours under OS/2:

    1) ANSI codes (just use printf()).

    2) The VIO api.  Look for PRCP.ZIP on a fine os/2 bbs near you for
       the documentation.
