Users that *do* need to use rxvt or SSH should simply disable the

Heh, that almost suggests that the native Windows command.com
support can disable the color without upsetting anybody ;-)


If that is the easiest way, yes.

I *do* think that trying to get color working on the DOS cmdline is a worthy goal. I just don't think it is worth overcomplicating the issue and trying to handle rare corner cases such as someone SSHing into a Windows box, or running CMD inside rxvt.

One approach that might be more compatible with the existing escape code approach is to define the appropriate ANSI color escape sequences. Ah, a bit more googling shows that cmd.exe doesn't handle ANSI sequences in Windows NT and later.
