    Hi

    I can't get colors to work?

    This is what I have in my ctl file.

    binkley.cfg

    ; Screen Appearance
    ; -----------------------------
    Boxtype 1
    ;Colors 7 30 30 30 8 79 79 11
    ; Colors chosen with SBC v1.0
    Colors 7 63 63 63 8 63 14 63
    ; Colors chosen with SBC v1.0
    ; Colors 7 63 63 63 7 63 14 63
    ; Colors 7 30 30 30 8 79 79 11 11 3
    CursorCol 1
    CursorRow 25
    ;ScreenBlank Call
    ;BlankWait 10
    ;NoFullScreen

    What's wrong?

    Hi Kevin Klement, hope you are having a nice day

    Hi

    What version of binkleyterm are you running and under
    what operating system?

    If you're using dos you need to add a video fossil to
    things like vfos_ibm or similar.

    For ex. here the .bat file loads up like this..
    (i've removed some stuff for clarity)

    :start
    50
    dmode com2:38400,n,8,1
    @x00 e 1 f=15 r=2048 t=2048 <- my comm fossil
    @vfos_ibm <------------------- the video fossil to allow color screens
    futil /p1
    @bt task=1
    futil /u
    @vfos_del <------------------- removes the video fossil
    @x00 <------------------------ removes comm fossil
    25

    Yours sincerely, Paul Williams <=-

    Hi Ross,

    you don't have vfossil loaded.

    That did it, Thanks. :)

    That was it, working great now!

    Cheers!
