hi

at first: i use ms vc++ 5.0 learning edition and windows 98.
my programs runs in the 32bit windows console, not in dos.

i have some questions again:

how can i color the text displayed in my program?
i've heard something about
textcolor(RED): for ex. RED
textcolor(4); for ex. RED
setcolor(4); for ex. RED
but they're not working.
is this an extra header-file? i use iostream.h and conio.h

or do i have to change to fullscreen mode before i can do this? i also heard something about SetVideoMode(); to change into 320x240x32 video mode. but this isn't working, too. can anyone tell me how to use this function correctly?

graphics, or better: pictures. i want my program to display pictures. i think they must be in pcx or bmp, am i right? do i have to put them into a 320x240 pixels picture because of the video mode?

i think that's all (and enough *g*) for now!
thanks for your help!
