&gt; The players keep yelping at me to provide some ansi color, but I'm
&gt; clueless on the art, so I thought I'd see if any of you had any

&gt; scourge!
&gt; 

Codes below are literal text strings to send to descriptors as in:

sprintf(buf,"\033[0;33mYou are hit by a magic missile\n\033[0;37m");

Color		Code		Bold
-----		----		----
black		\033[0;30m	\033[1;30m
blue		\033[0;31m	\033[1;31m
green		\033[0;32m	\033[1;32m
cyan		\033[0;33m	\033[1;33m
red		\033[0;34m	\033[1;34m
magenta		\033[0;35m	\033[1;35m
brown		\033[0;36m	\033[1;36m (yellow)
white		\033[0;37m	\033[1;37m


Note that "bold" brown is really yellow.

You can do more with ansi (background colors for instance), but it looks
rather ugly and is not really useful.
