I've got 2 unrelated questions dealing with colors.  First off, codeview
seems to have decided on it's own that I want black and white.  It decided
this on it's own, up until a couple of days ago it was in color.  Going
through the manual I see how to make codeview run black and white, but
nada on making it run in color.  Thank you, faceless worker bee in
tech pubs.

Second, I'm using ansi.sys calls to change the background of my screen
display.  When said background is anything but black I have a black border
around my (beautiful) display.  How can I get rid of this border, portability
be damned?  Gee, while I'm at it does anyone have C source for a routine
to let the user change screen colors dynamically?

My system is a True Blue IBM AT with ega, but I want the software to
think I've got cga.


						Thanks.
