+    #FIXME: The Windows Command Interpreter does support colors natively. I think that support has been since Win2k.
+    
+    That's all for Windows Command Interpreter.
+    
+    
+    As for ANSI Compliant Terminals (which most Linux/Unix Terminals are.).....
+    I think the ANSI Color Codes would be good enough for my requirements to print colored text on an ANSI compliant terminal.
+
+    The ANSI Terminal Specification gives programs the ability to change the text color or background color.
+    An ansi code begins with the ESC character [^ (ascii 27) followed by a number (or 2 or more separated by a semicolon) and a letter.
+    
+    In the case of colour codes, the trailing letter is "m"...
+    
+    So as an example, we have ESC[31m ... this will change the foreground colour to red.
+    
+    The codes are as follows:
+    
+    For Foreground Colors
+    1m - Hicolour (bold) mode
+    4m - Underline (doesn't seem to work)
+    5m - BLINK!!
+    8m - Hidden (same colour as bg)
+    30m - Black
+    31m - Red
+    32m - Green
+    33m - Yellow
+    34m - Blue
+    35m - Magenta
+    36m - Cyan
+    37m - White
+    
+    For Background Colors
+    
+    40m - Change Background to Black
+    41m - Red
+    42m - Green
+    43m - Yellow
+    44m - Blue
+    45m - Magenta
+    46m - Cyan
+    47m - White
+    
+    7m - Change to Black text on a White bg
+    0m - Turn off all attributes.
+    
+    Now for example, say I wanted blinking, yellow text on a magenta background... I'd type ESC[45;33;5m
