On Page 246 of the "C For Yourself" manual supplied with QuickC
version 2.50 and Quick Assembler version 2.51, there is a macro under
the heading "EGA Color Mixing."

The macro is incorrectly defined as follows:

   #define EGARGB( r, g, b ) (0x3F3F3FL & ((long)(b) << 20 | (g) << 12 \
   | (r << 4)))

This macro should read as follows:

   #define EGARGB( r, g, b ) (0x303030L & ((long)(b) << 20 | (g) << 12 \
   | (r << 4)))

Note that the backslashes can be omitted if you put the #define all on
one line.
