The problem with using that program and sending the file through or
embedding it into the code is that if you send it to someone who's
terminal does not support ANSI color, then they will get tons of trash.
It's best to use something like Daniel's EasyColor (I think that's what
it's called.) add in and use the color codes from there in your string.
That way if someone does not have color they won't get a screen full of
trash.
