These are critical issues for writing unit tests for dos

i don't have dosemu natively in subsystem android (I'm in vacation) and need to run my test in dosbox

completely mysterious crashes led me to this

turns out a COMBINATION of protected mode works. one for compiling and another for runtime

dosbox -c "MOUNT c ." -c "c:" -c "fbc a.bas"

dosbox -c "MOUNT c ." -c "c:" -c "hdpmi32 -r" -c "a"

mode.bas

Dim As Integer i, j, k
Do
	Screen k
	Color 0, 7
	Print Using "Screen #"; k
	Do
		Do
			Color i, j
			Print Using "## ##"; i; j;
			j += 1
		Loop Until j > 7
	Print ""
	i += 1
	j = 0
Loop Until i > 15
k += 1
i = j = 0
Sleep 3000
Loop Until k > 7
Sleep

Yellow text in a famous 81 game is absent from the only working TERMINAL emulator text mode emulator terminal.c in dosemu

I have two write unit tests from scratch since it's mostly ad hoc trial and error written

I still don't know if it can handle ANSI text as graphics modes at all or only ANSI mode 0
