unit ColorTxt;

{
  TColoredText is a descendent of TStaticText designed to allow the writing
  of colored text when color monitors are used.  With a monochrome or BW
  monitor, TColoredText acts the same as TStaticText.

  TColoredText is used in exactly the same way as TStaticText except that
  the constructor has an extra Byte parameter specifying the attribute
  desired.  (Do not use a 0 attribute, black on black).
