G'Day Andrew,

I have a bit of a problem with that function..
It doesn't work.

vm_mkcolor(1,10);  will give me a blinking cyan foreground on lightgreen.

here is a lil test...


#include 

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

int main()
{
 printf("\n %d",vm_mkcolor(1,10));
 printf("\n %d",Set_Attrib(1,10));
return 0;
}

Output will be   161 i 
                 33  !
           

Since 128 is blink...so when is VidMgr13 coming out ? :-)
  
I'm surprised nobody whinged about this yet.
