Because it doesn't work on Windows?
Or, to be exact, it should work on Windows 9x /if/ you have added Ansi.sys to the 
appropriate boot file (forgot the name!);
And it doesn't work on Windows XP, unless you start a true Dos command line window, which 
I don't want anyway.
I recently searched how to handle Ansi color codes on XP and found nothing more.
If somebody has a good trick...
