What's wrong with bike shedding? We live in gigabyte century not kilobyte. Besides even over gprs (a few kb a second) full color ncurses works fine (see f-irc, multitail, httping - my toy projects using either ncurses or ansi). You can still make it an option maybe even a compilation option. Folkert van Heusden -- MultiTail er et flexible tool for å kontrolere Logfiles og commandoer.
