My own view is that as soon as code contains: #if defined(WIN32) the steam kinda goes out of my sails. :/ i admit to being somewhat of a weenie in that regard. ANSI escape codes cover _most_ cases but there are always terminals out there which get confused by them and i always seem to stumble across such terminals, so i am generally not a friend of colorized output. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
