Maybe I didn't understand the earlier part of your message, but can't you
specify both the foreground and the background color of text? It'd be ugly,
but if you specified both you could be (relatively) sure the colors would
show up.
If you really want to be safe, you can use an old-style attention-grabbing
technique like this:
********** ################## **********
WARNING!!!!!!!
********** ################## **********
blah blah blah
********** ################## **********
WARNING!!!!!!!
********** ################## **********
People will see stuff like that :) Or you could take the high road and just
print it normally. As long as it's the last thing printed (i.e. It doesn't
scroll by while they're away or in another window), people will probably
read it :) And if not, it could be argued that they get what they deserve
;)
