History
Joshua Bell 7bbc96924b Add SETUP.SYSTEM and build .SETUP files 
This is an alternate approach proposed by Sean Nolan in 1987 which
allows placing the driver files in a subdirectory of the root volume
to avoid clutter and file ordering issues. Only a SETUP.SYSTEM file is
needed at the top level, and the drivers go into a SETUPS/ directory.

All drivers here (except QUIT.SYSTEM and SETUP.SYSTEM itself) have
alternate forms built into the /DRIVERS/SETUPS/ directory as XYZ.SETUP
instead of XYZ.SYSTEM. If you choose to use SETUP.SYSTEM, place these
.SETUP files in your SETUPS/ directory. The naming doesn't matter -
any SYS or BIN file can be used - but this convention makes
distribution easier. These .SETUP files do **NOT** chain to the next
file - that's handled by SETUP.SYSTEM itself.

Text Color Utilities

Author: @chrisparana

These utilities will work with the Apple IIgs or on any Apple II equipped with a VidHD card. Each will set the color of the text, background, and border and then invoke the ProDOS quit handler immediately.

Useful if you'd like to automatically set a theme at boot or select one manually afterwards. Originally created because I wanted my GS to use a different set of colors when booting my ProDOS 8 partition then what I have set as default in the Control Panel.

To have these themes applied at boot, place one of the theme SYSTEM at the end of your load chain.
