No.  I think that's what it's going to take to get the color portion
working on max -k.  Or the quick kludge that redirected console IO to work
on Linux needs a re-write to properly implement the color coding.....  

Remember I said equivalent....  It maybe as simple as echoing an escape
sequence or setting an environment variable properly in the command shell
prior to running 'bin/max -k' -- that initializes the console into an ANSI
(enhanced) VT-100 mode of operation.....  I haven't looked at that section
of code to see what's needed...

Take care.....
