VT100
Syntax:
vt100
This command tells the mud that you would like to use VT100 color options. It will clear your current color settings if you are in ANSI mode, setting your coloring scheme to VT100 Standard.
VT100 PRIMER:
VT100 is very limited compared to ANSI as far as colors go. However, if you set it up right, you can get up to twelve distinct text display options. Basically, VT100 gives you three different "colors" to work with: normal, reverse, and underlined. Then, if your software will permit it, you can change these colors to whatever you want (on NCSA Telnet for the IBM PC series of computers you can do this). Once you have set up your basic three colors, you can then either do nothing, bold, blink, or bold and blink them.
Thus, three colors x four different ways of displaying will give you up to twelve distinct combinations. Of course, half of those are blinking, but ...
TIP
DO NOT set one of your three basic colors to a high intensity IBM PC color. High intensity is equivalent to bolding in this context and you will effectively lose a color because bolding a high intensity color does nothing while bolding a low intensity color makes it high intensity.
Thus: If you use an IBM PC and VT100, set your three basic colors to LOW INTENSITY!.
