X-Hacker.org- Telix/SALT v3.15 & RS-232, Hayes - Norton Guide http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]

 SETTING THE COLORS

 The first item of the Configuration Menu allows you to set the
 screen and colors default settings. After picking this option
 you will be shown a menu listing the various parts of the
 screen displays (e.g., menu foreground colors). If you pick
 one of these items you will be allowed to scroll through the
 possible colors for it by using the arrow keys. When you have
 selected the right colors, press Return. If you want to leave
 the colors menu without selecting one press Esc.

 Another setting on the 'Screen and colors' menu is the 'Screen
 write mode'. If you pick this option you will be asked in
 which way you want Telix to write to the screen. This depends
 on the video adapter present in your system. The first option
 is a direct screen write. This is the fastest mode, and should
 be used if you have a monochrome adapter, an EGA adapter, or
 another video adapter that never gets snow. The second option
 is a direct screen write with port checks. This method is
 slightly slower. You should use this method if you screen gets
 snow on it or it flickers while executing the DOS 'dir' com-
 mand. One card with which you should use this is the
 color/graphics adapter. Don't use this option if your video
 card doesn't need it, as it may interfere with communications.
 The final method is a screen write with BIOS calls. You should
 use this method with applications like Topview or DoubleDOS.
 This method is quite slow however. Note that you do not need
 this mode to run Telix under DESQview, since Telix is DV
 aware.

 Another setting on this menu is 'Default screen size'. This
 allows you to pick an alternate default screen size of 80x43
 or 80x50. Note that these modes require an EGA or VGA card.
 Note also that many EGA cards can not do 80x50, and some VGA
 cards can not do 80x43.

 When you have finished picking the colors, select the 'Keep
 changes & exit' option if you want to keep the color changes
 you have made, or the 'exit' option if you want to discard
 them.
