Please, make the patch available, or even better, include that in the Debian binary. This could help me testing some of the programs I have developed under The HURD, cos if I don't have color, I can't use them in the right way... > > However, it is definitely not the right thing to do, so don't spend any > time on it.

I've tried colortext, but some programs seems not to work trought it. For example, mutt fails, ncurses programs too, and the 'ls --color' also fails... It takes the \n but doesn't do the \r. Bye!
