Background Color: 98 vs XP

[Jack Kramer]

Consider: Using PB 3.5
color 15,6
cls
print "hi"
end

A. On Win 98 machine, I get white on brown.
B. On XP machine, I get white on light green

Programs compiled on 98 machine and run on XP machine
give white on brown.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks, Jack

XP's DOS is more of a console app emulating DOS. It even has the
ability to use High-Intensity BGCOLORs...where before you only had
0-8. I've got code from here using assembly to get them in DOS, but
never got around to testing it. All the colors are a little off
when DOS is emulated. Some ASCII chars are too as are some in DOS
depending on the video card/ROM.
