Hi Jason, the color.com file is what was saved after loading the
high-level colorForth code, so it has a lot more data in the lookup
tables than does the bare-bones code assembled from the sources. Also,
the sources have a glaring off-by-one error that causes code to load
at the wrong location, hence Charley's advice might work.
But even running it as a DOS program won't help if you don't have
exactly the right hardware. You might need to use a different
colorForth compiled for your own graphics card.
