Before you use this program make sure you have ANSI.SYS loaded.  To check
go to the c:\ dos prompt, and enter "type config.sys"  if there is a line
that says "DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS" that means it is loaded.  If it isn't
there then use a text editor to edit that file, and insert that line in the
CONFIG.SYS file.  If this confuses you run SETUPDC.EXE, and that will
insert the needed line to load ANSI.SYS into the CONFIG.SYS for you.

To change the text color of dos:  type "DOSC" in the same directory as the
program.  It will then show a list of colors.  Before each color is a letter
that you must push for that color.  Example:

        A) Blue

If I wanted to change the text color of dos to blue, then I would push 'A'.
This would then change the color.  You can repeatedly change the text color
of dos without restarting the computer.

LOADING A COLOR FROM THE DOS PROMPT:|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If you would like to load a color without running the program then you can
enter an argument from dos.  This is here in case you would like to put this
into your AUTOEXEC.BAT and have DOS change its color when you boot up the
computer.  Run dosc by typing DOSC but don't hit enter after that.  You
need to enter an argument.  An argument is more like a command that you tell
the program to do when starting the program.  Here is an example of a line
I would type at the dos prompt to load the color "Bright Blue" into DOS.

DOSC B

That's it!  All you have to do is type the name of the program = DOSC then
after a space put a capitol B.  Here is a list of all the arguments you can
use to change to each color.

        Blue                    b
        Green                   g
        Cyan                    c
        Red                     r
        Purple                  p
        Brown                   o
        Grey                    e
        Dark Grey               E
        Bright Blue             B
        Bright Green            G
        Bright Cyan             C
