I cant get textattr, textcolor or textbackground to work, the colour
combination on the screen stays the same. The following code just puts "this
is a test" on the screen in the normal white-on-black, rather than the
red-on-white i expected.

Any ideas what im doing wrong?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main(void) {
textcolor (12);
textbackground (15);
printf("\nthis is a test\n");
}
