BOLD.EXE provides more readable text on LCD or CRT displays by changing the default text
attribute to high-intensity white from its normal low-intensity white (for text modes only). It can be
installed as either a DOS device driver or as a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program.
BOLD modifies the user palette profile feature of a VGA BIOS to change the standard low-inten-
sity text attribute 07h to the value 3Fh.
1.1
1.2
Copy the program file bold.exe from the installation diskette to a directory on your hard drive
which is in the DOS path.
1.3
BOLD may be installed either from the DOS command line as a TSR, or from the CONFIG.SYS
file as a device driver.
1.3.0.1
When BOLD is loaded from the DOS command line with the “on” option the text attribute is
changed to high intensity. Running BOLD with the “off” option returns the text attribute to normal.
For example: typing at the DOS prompt
will load BOLD.EXE as a TSR and will change the text attribute.
An incorrect command line parameter will cause the display of a usage screen.

Other text mode application programs which modify the RAMDAC values of entry 3Fh may inter-
fere with the operation of BOLD.
