Hi there,

  in C and other programming languages it's simply possible to change
the background and foreground color of text plotted on screen. But GNAT
doesn't seem to offer procedures to handle that.

Moving the cursor may work with "Set_Col" and "Set_Line", but i need
routines to change color as well!

Could anyone remember a small, simple easy-to-use package (OS
independent) or should it even be possible by using standard GNAT
packages?

I'm lucky for every single answer,
  thank you very much >8^)
