ANSICON provides ANSI escape sequences for Windows console programs. It provides much the same functionality as ANSI.SYS does for MS-DOS.

ANSICON provides ANSI escape sequences for Windows console programs. It provides much the same functionality as ANSI.SYS does for MS-DOS.

Requirements:

  • 32-bit: Windows 2000 Professional or later.
  • 64-bit: Windows Vista or later.

Running ANSICON with no arguments will start a new instance of the command processor (the program defined by the ComSpec environment variable, typically CMD.EXE), or display standard input if it is redirected. Any argument will be treated as a program and its arguments.
