5.00 5.10 6.00 6.00a 6.00ax 7.00 | 1.00 MS-DOS | WINDOWS kbprg -- The information in this article applies to: - The C Run-time (CRT), included with: - Microsoft C for MS-DOS, versions 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax - Microsoft C/C++ for MS-DOS, version 7.0 - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.0 -- The _settextcolor function does not change the color of the text that the printf function produces. The _outtext function produces colored text; however, it does not provide the text formatting capabilities that printf does. To create formatted and colored text, use the sprintf function to format the text into a buffer and call _outtext to display the buffer on the screen in the desired color.
