REQ: Color Codes

REQ: Color Codes

After recieving a number of emails about color codes (thanks for trying to help) I find that I need to be
more clear than I was.  I am looking to colorize a ascii file so that color would show up when the file
is displayed using the cat program.  I have been told that this can be done, but I have since lost track
of the person who told me that.

Then you have to use the ANSI color codes. This is not easy to do by
hand so I recommend that you use a program like TheDraw to colorize the
files. Remember to save your files like ANSI, not ASCII.
