Ah. I've been using 0.9x for ages (on Linux; MSIE suits me fine on
Win2000). Still, the manual was for 0.82; maybe the color handling code
changed in 0.83? I can see only 12 distinct colors out of 16 in the
manual (2.3.2 Colour table) with 0.95.
Looking at your colour table I can see that every bright color (red,
yellow, fuchsia, lime, aqua) is replaced with bold white. Since those
colours are produced by combining a colour code (\e[3xm) with bold mode
(\e[1m) it seems that \e[1m overrides the actual colour.
Could you try removing ansi.sys?
BTW Links has all terminal sequences hardcoded and doesn't use termcap
nor terminfo, so you can ignore that line of thoughts.
