They are the same, either remove the first one completely, or comment it out.
as a different alternative, color can be quite easy to add, if you don't want
all the customability of lopes. (personal color saved to pfiles).
below is a snippet of my (not sure who had the original idea, wasn't me though)
write_to_descriptor function. it allows the color character to be ` instead of
~ or { and has worked like a charm for years.
------->CODE<-----------

* Lowest level output function.
* Write a block of text to the file descriptor.
* If this gives errors on very long blocks (like 'ofind all'),
* try lowering the max block size.
