Hi,

I would like to know how a text mode based terminal/screen
understand that it has a "colored" character display to screen
?

I think it must interpret couples of (character, character
attribute).

If i'm right till now, how to translate these 8-bits attribute
in foreground-color/intensity, background-color/intensity,
something-else ?
Where the colors are defined ?

Where can I find the sources of (color_) ls and color_xterm ?

Regards,
Meir
