See section 15.

And while you're at it, read the entire FAQ,
you'll be glad you did.

There is no C++ library that supports colour for DOS/Console applications.

Try looking in your Help files for C Library functions for Consoles.

I hope that helps.

There is (it is called TurboVision, it is from Borland, "portable" versions
of it exist for Linux/Unix as well IIRC), but there is no Standard library
for it.

G++???

I think it depends on the compiler...

I used Borland C++ (version 3.0) and I did the colouring, using conio.h
functions. Unfortunately I don't remember the function names any more (I
use g++ now), but I think they were textcolor and textbgcolor, or something
like that.

G++???

Please don't top-post. If you have a C++ question, ask it. If you have a
g++ question, go to a group that discusses that compiler. Read section 5
of the FAQ for posting guidelines.
