The ANSI color escapes seem pretty standard. Do you know of a terminal that uses a different set?

Why would they run the compiler hooked up to a pty? Lots of unix tools use the tty-ness of stdin/stdout to change their behavior (eg. using interactive prompts), it seems like doing this would be a recipe for disaster... -Keith _______________________________________________ cfe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev
