 AC> OK, if you want the parameters reversed, this should read:
 AC> #define Set_Attrib(back,fore) (((back << 4) + fore) & 127)
I'm not at all sure what you mean here..Why would i want the parms 
reversed ?

Which is wrong. I've added  the &127 onto the original define and it's ok
now.

#define vm_mkcolor(fore,back)  (((fore) | (back << 4)) & 127)
