subject: Text mode colours

I was wondering how, in several programs that seem to run in
text mode, they use high intensity colours for the background
as well as the foreground?
Does anyone know how to do this using C?

Another question, how can you change the text mode character
definitions, ie: where are they stored and in what format?
(I assume they are just stored sequentially, 8 bytes to each
character?)

Any help will be greatly appreciated...
