Thankyou very much !
Each one of you has made a significant comment about
modifying this application.

The author Chris Jones wrote to me to confer this saying,
about  textcolor(white) textbackground(blue)
add near the beginning of the main
function somewhere such as lines reading
textcolor(15);
textbackground(1);




He also explained that that parsing for Utility
in the string to change the string to green:
Utility_dos_directory_long_file_names_ver102=lfndos.exe

would not work because dos handles that part.
he says
No, because the directory listing is displayed by DOS, so lfndos has nothing
to do with it.

So now I wonder how I can use this asm code (without clr) that was posted
and put it where it will always maintain the color scheme without
compromising the stability of the dos kernel?
