                                 COLORIT.PRG
                        Based on a program by Pat Barkman
                           TechNotes, August, 1992

Pat's article and program were fine, but I added a few flourishes. 
Instructions in the file COLORIT.WP and COLORIT.TXT are based on the
LAN at the Oakland DOE, however, the concepts are all there.

COLORIT.PRG allows the user of the Control Center to use a pre-defined set
of color combinations (which may be added onto by some adventurous soul),
and will also allow the user to save that set of colors to disk, so that
the next time they boot-up dBASE, those colors will be the default.

COLORIT2.PRG is designed to be used as a startup program for dBASE, for
a user that accesses the Control Center. It checks for the COLORIT.MEM file
(in the location specified in COLORIT.PRG -- you should check these carefully
and make sure they're where you want the file(s) being written). If it exists
the colors from that file are restored and set, and then the Control Center
is loaded. 

Check the directions in the COLORIT files ... this should be very straight-
forward, and should work for dBASE IV versions 1.x.

   COLORIT.WP   (directions for LAN users to access the programs and install
                 in Control Center, in WordPerfect 5.1 (DOS) File Format)
   COLORIT.TXT  (same as above in ASCII Text File format)
   COLORIT.PRG  (Main COLORIT program ...)
   COLORIT2.PRG (program designed to be used as "startup" program for user,
                 so default colors can be set by user.)
