There are only really two options to this program.. OPTION 1 This option is used to restore the original colors that The "Commander" came with (bright cyan on blue etc.). OPTION 2 This option is used to change all the colors in the Norton Commander! All colors are to be entered in Hex not decimal format. A few samples Dec Hex xBase color string ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 15 0F "W+/N" 31 1F "W+/B" 127 7F "W+/W" 94 5E "GR+/RB" To change the main panel color from Bright Cyan on Blue to Bright white on Magenta --> 5F 5 translates to Magenta background F translates to Bright white foreground NOTE: If you own a copy of GRUMP.LIB from GrumpFish, Inc. make sure to uncomment the Clipper define directive #define MRGRUMP to enable a much easier method of changing colors! After linking grump.lib, simply select the option to alter colors, and then while in the GET that you wish to change a color press the function key 'F2', then use the cursor keys to select the color you want for the current GET, and press ENTER. This will insert the selected color in Hex format into the current GET. You do not need to do any conversion (ignore the 'h' that is inserted)... If you do not own grump.lib, then the conversion process is up to you! GRUMPFISH library is a worthy addition to any Clipper programmers toolbox! OPTION 3 This will exit the program to the calling program, or to MS-DOS -=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- CODING information I used only one library 'NANFOR.LIB' and plain Clipper for the coding for this utility so that just about anyone could create it w/o purchasing any other libraries! If you do not have a copy of 'nanfor.lib' then you can get a copy by joining Compuserve, and once you are registered: NANFOR.LIB is Public Domain (FREE how about that!) NANFOR.LIB was created by many Clipper programmers! From any Compuserve prompt type GO CLIPPER * Join the Clipper conference * Select libraries * Select NANFOR LIB library Download the main library, plus all patchs * This utilty will work w/o the patchs but I suggest doing them anyways! * To patch the library: You will need a library manager (MS-LIB.EXE or TMASM.EXE) There are also PUBLIC DOMAIN library managers also Each patch has instructions on doing the patchs! Other reasons for not using anyother libraries was to keep the program to only the code that was needed. This is why the main menu is sparse! (note the help function can be linked or not linked - by utilizing the #define PRGHELP in 'norton.ch'). If you are not a Clipper programmer and would like a copy of this program Send a 720k disk plus $5.00 to the address below for a copy of the .exe I have no idea the cost to ship the $5.00 is only a guess! I'am not making anything from it! Enjoy! Gallagher Computing, Inc. Kevin S.
