	That's not necessarily true.  If the destination machine has
"Ansi.sys" loaded in memory, then you can use colors in cout.  I have
included a file I called "ansi.h" which will set up the right stuff so you
can do colors by calling...
cout << "Hi" << AnsiColor(2) << " there.";
Color values can range from 0 to 15.
