Is there anything like textcolor() and textbackground() in D?

No, because they aren't multi-platform (I think for the same reason they aren't present in C). Just use SetConsoleTextAttribute()...

Ok, but if I have Turbo C/C++ 3.0 and DJGPP 2.02 (which have support for textcolor, textbackground and others), how could I use them? I mean, in both of them there're lib directories with the respective .lib files, but they have cryptic names. What could I do?

I'm not sure what you want to do... are you trying to link those libs to your D programs?

It won't work. Turbo C is 16-bit, and DJGPP is 32-bit, but for DOS. And DMD produces Win32 executables. If you want it, you'll have to write it yourself. Wrappers around SetConsoleTextAttribute and SetConsoleCursorPosition shouldn't be hard to do...

Ok. In the Dev-C++ 4.0 conio.h I found it. This is the code to implement
them:
void textattr(int a)
{
SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),a);
}
void textbackground(int a)
{
/*
if (a==BLINK)
a=WHITE;
*/
__BACKGROUND=a;
textattr(__FOREGROUND | (a+29));
}
void textcolor(int a)
{
/*
if (a==BLINK)
a=WHITE;
*/
__FOREGROUND=a;
}
But I have no idea how to make them work. I know that
SetConsoleTextAttribute is in wincon.h (in dm\include\win32) but what do I
do now?

My mistake. This is the correct code:
void textattr(int a)
{
SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),a);
}
void textbackground(int a)
{
/*
if (a==BLINK)
a=WHITE;
*/
__BACKGROUND=a;
textattr(__FOREGROUND | (a+29));
}
void textcolor(int a)
{
/*
if (a==BLINK)
a=WHITE;
*/
__FOREGROUND=a;
textattr(a|__BACKGROUND);
}
But I have no idea how to make them work. I know that
SetConsoleTextAttribute is in wincon.h (in dm\include\win32) but what do I
do now?
