Bo:

As I mentioned in another message, if I remember right, color got turned on
on the local console when I added ANSI.SYS (or an equivalent driver) on DOS
or OS/2 boxes.  So, if you can "turn on ANSI color escape
squences" in the command shell that you run 'bin/max -k' in, then it
might just work.  This may be as simple as setting the terminal type to
ANSI (or what ever the equivalent is).  The default is usally a VT100 type
interpretation.  While the ANSI.SYS implemented a major sub-set of VT100
(basically all 80x24 stuff), it also 'enhanced' the protocol with options
for handling color.  Find the right termcap settings (or TERM-IO settings),
and we might just get this to (easily) work.

On the other hand, Wes's method (kludge?) to get console I/O redirected for
use under Linux may have broken the color support.  And it may take a code
fix-up in the console I/O module that is being used in the Unix / Linux
compilation to get this working.

Those are my thoughts on where to start to get color running on the local
console (such as with 'bin/max -k').

Take care.....
