ANSICON is a Windows utility that enables ANSI escape sequence processing in console programs, similar to ANSI.SYS for MS-DOS. It works by injecting a DLL into processes and hooking their console functions.
Use cases
- enable ansi colors in windows console programs
- get colored output from command line tools on windows
- process ansi escape sequences in cmd.exe
- make old windows console apps display colors
- add ansi.sys-like support to windows terminals
When to choose
- you need ANSI escape sequence support on legacy Windows versions without built-in VT support
- you want colored console output from programs that emit ANSI codes on Windows 2000 through early Windows 10
When to avoid
- you are on Windows 10+ where Virtual Terminal sequences are natively supported
- you need a maintained cross-platform terminal color solution
