As I said before, only 16-bit applications can use colour escapes under NT.

I run ksh on my windows xp machine and I'm able to do all that with just a
few escape sequences in my .profile

Technically, there's no such thing in C as such. The #define substitutes
the actual value for the name before the "compiler proper" ever sees it.
That's why the C standard requires something like
f(3 + 2);
to not do any additions before invoking f(5). Otherwise, people would
hesitate to use something like
#define LAST (PREV+1)

Oh. OK. So you can't invoke it from command.com and have it work?

Only if it is a 16-bit application. The colour escape functionality is
provided by 'ansi.sys' which is a 16-bit driver.

Yes, there is:
#include "stdio.h"
#include "windows.h"
void main()
{
HANDLE hCon = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
SetConsoleTextAttribute(hCon, 0x0C);
printf("Hello in red");
SetConsoleTextAttribute(hCon, 0x09);
printf(" and in blue\n");
getchar();
}

AFAIK, the VT100 didn't support colors. That came with later versions
of VT.

Rather alarmingly, you're right again...
