So, it's kinda possible, if they have power-shell on their system. I just need to wrap a function around it.

Git (via msysgit) does have colors on the command line also. It should be possible to extend PHP to include this functionality, but I'll have to learn C++ to do that.

I had the need for ANSI colours under Windows this week on another project. Rather than do anything too funky I've cheated and used ANSICon (see https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon) with the "-p" argument.

The only problem is the license. It's classified as "freeware" but I've not managed to verify anything about redistribution rights, etc. It may help.

Thank you TAA!

readme.txt?

The original zipfile can be freely distributed, by any means. However,
I would like to be informed if it is placed on a CD-ROM (other than an
archive compilation; permission is granted, I'd just like to know).
Modified versions may be distributed, provided it is indicated as such
in the version text and a source diff is included.

Quite. Totally missed that in the wall-of-text somehow
