[Coco] Colors.s - Help for selecting OS-9 Screen Colors that can be read.

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

I finally found one of the two files I was looking for. I need to look at it 
more closely, it appears to not do what is wanted currently.

The Shell Script I used in selecting screen colors is here. When you have 
several windows on the same screen it is most useful to use different 
background colors for each. Then the foreground color must be chosen so the 
text can be read. Your "good", "fair', "poor" ratings may be different.
