RE: Colours in DDS/RPG/.. Source

One of my old utilities has the following:

Color           Decimal Hex
Turquoise       48              30
Red             40              28
White           34              22
Blue            58              3A
Pink            56              38
Yellow  50              32
NoColor 32              20

And this is my favorite DS for converting decimal numbers to the hex character 
equivalent.  If you z-add 255 to the field called binary (for instance), the 
field called hex contains the character whose value is x'FF'.

I            DS                                           
I                                    B   1   20BINARY     
I                                        2   2 HEX
