    Do a search at:
    http://www.ProgrammersHeaven.com
    Or try using google.
    I found various zips and downloaded a few last night I believe.

    jesus christ, just answer the guy's question. Don't give him links to pointless sites so he could search hours and hours for something.

    We will. Just as long as he has tried first.

    Why not?
    This way he figures it out for himeself and has the gratification and knowledge of learning something on his own, instead of people "breast feeding" him.
    The links weren't pointless in my opinion.
    ProgrammersHeaven has a lot of useful information.
    Google works wonders.

    Nerdy hu? I guess I am a nerd. I have no problem with it either.
    I sense poor attitude me thinks...

    side note:
    I searched for something for about 2 weeks, and finally found it.
    I was very satisfied and excited once I did.

    //Neccessary header file
    #include <conio.h>

    //Change the text color
    void textcolor(int Color);

    //Change the background color
    void textbackground(int Color);

    //Print colored text (same syntax as printf() )
    cprintf(...);

    if not Borland (or compatibles), try Sunlight's tutorial:
    http://sunlightd.virtualave.net/Wind...Q.html#GUISkin)

    the tutorial includes instructions on the use of the API function:
    SetConsoleTextAttribute();
    think only with code.
    write only with source.
