Comments:
Using this routine is equivalent to setting the entire IBM-PC attribute table using the generic attribute routines. It is provided to enable you to apply generic attributes to existing programs, making their attribute handling portable. However, this routine is inefficient because it defines every possible attribute. For new applications use the generic attribute routines and define only the attributes you need.
