If you are very lazy, do
out 3c8h,c
out 3c9h,R
out 3c9h,G
out 3c9h,B

c is the color index 0 background, 15 white, R,G,B is in 
red,blue,green intensities in the range 0-63.
I'm not sure how you do the out's under djgpp, borland would
call it outportb(port,char value)

This code will simply redefine the color of white, it will 
not let you use different colors, but you can do that 
using the textattribute function.
