[21 kB] ANSICON Copyright 2005-6 Jason Hood Freeware. Version 1.01 =========== Description =========== ANSICON provides ANSI escape sequences to a Win32 console program. It provides much the same functionality as `ANSI.SYS' does for MS-DOS. ============ Requirements ============ 32-bit Windows (developed with XP, seems to work with 98, do not think it will work with NT). ============ Installation ============ Place `ansicon.exe' and `ANSI.dll' together in a directory on your PATH. Uninstall simply involves closing any programs that are currently using it, then deleting those two files. No other changes are made. ===== Usage ===== Running ANSICON with no arguments will start a new instance of the com- mand processor (the program defined by the `ComSpec' environment var- iable, typically `CMD.EXE'). Passing the option `-p' (case sensitive) will enable the parent process to recognise escapes (ie. the command shell used to run ANSICON). Anything else will be treated as a program and its arguments. If `-m' is the first option, the current (and def- ault) attribute will be made grey on black ("monochrome"), or the attr- ibute following the `m'. Eg: `ansicon -m30 cmd /c type file.ans' will display `file.ans' using black on cyan as the default color (CMD.EXE's own color will be used initially). Please use `COLOR /?' for attribute values (on XP; I'm afraid 9X users will just have to guess...). ========= Sequences ========= The following escape sequences are recognised. \e[#A CUU: CUrsor Up \e[#B CUD: CUrsor Down \e[#C CUF: CUrsor Forward \e[#D CUB: CUrsor Backward \e[#E CNL: Cursor Next Line \e[#F CPL: Cursor Preceding Line \e[#G CHA: Cursor Horizontal Absolute \e[#;#H CUP: CUrsor Position \e[#;#f HVP: Horizontal and Vertical Position \e[s SCP: Save Cursor Position \e[u RCP: Restore Cursor Position \e[#J ED: Erase Display \e[#K EL: Erase Line \e[#L IL: Insert Lines \e[#M DL: Delete Lines \e[#@ ICH: Insert CHaracter \e[#P DCH: Delete CHaracter \e[#;#;#m SGM: Set Graphics Mode `\e' represents the escape character (ASCII 27); `#' represents a deci- mal number (optional, in most cases defaulting to 1). =========== Limitations =========== The entire buffer is used, not just the visible window. If the program runs another program, the new program will not recognise escapes. =============== Version History =============== Legend: + added, - bug-fixed, * changed. 1.01 - 12 March, 2006: * \e[m will restore original color, not set grey on black; + -m option to set default (and initial) color; - restore original color on exit; - disable escape processing when console has disabled processed output; + \e[5m (blink) is the same as \e[4m (underline); - do not conceal control characters (0 to 31). 1.00 - 23 October, 2005: + initial release. =============== Acknowledgments =============== Jean-Louis Morel, for his Perl package Win32::Console::ANSI. It pro- vided the basis of `ANSI.dll'. Sergey Oblomov (hoopoepg), for Console Manager. It provided the basis of `ansicon.exe'. Anton Bassov's article "Process-wide API spying - an ultimate hack" in "The Code Project". ======= Contact ======= mailto:jadoxa@yahoo.com.au http://ansicon.adoxa.cjb.net/ Jason Hood 11 Buckle Street North Rockhampton Qld 4701 Australia ============ Distribution ============ 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). Modified versions may be distributed, as long as the original zipfile is included (I would prefer to be contacted). =========================== Jason Hood, 12 March, 2006. | ||
