Hi Geoff

I use this in Chispa:

enum COLORS {
    BLACK = 0,
    BLUE,
    GREEN,
    CYAN,
    RED,
    MAGENTA,
    BROWN,
    LIGHTGRAY,
    DARKGRAY,
    LIGHTBLUE,
    LIGHTGREEN,
    LIGHTCYAN,
    LIGHTRED,
    LIGHTMAGENTA,
    YELLOW,
    WHITE
};

static int __BACKGROUND = BLACK;
static int __FOREGROUND = LIGHTGRAY;

void textbackground (int color)
{
    __BACKGROUND = color;
    SetConsoleTextAttribute (GetStdHandle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), (unsigned
short)(__FOREGROUND + (color << 4)));
}

void textcolor (int color)
{
    __FOREGROUND = color;
    SetConsoleTextAttribute (GetStdHandle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), (unsigned
short)(color + (__BACKGROUND << 4)));
}

You must use textbackgroud() or textcolor() before to print anything. It works
with stdio functions for C and iostream for C++

Regards,
Federico
