I don't have ANSI.SYS installed either, but what I do have installed I can compile the following program which outputs ANSI codes to draw a red, white and blue flag.

* flag-ansi.c 22-nov-89 *#define esc 27 main() { int c; printf("%cH%cJ",esc,esc); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" * * * * * * "); stripe(1,46); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" * * * * * "); stripe(1,46); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" * * * * * * "); stripe(0,46); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" * * * * * "); stripe(0,46); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" * * * * * * "); stripe(1,46); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" * * * * * "); stripe(1,46); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" * * * * * * "); stripe(0,46); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" * * * * * "); stripe(0,46); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" * * * * * * "); stripe(1,46); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" * * * * * "); stripe(1,46); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" * * * * * * "); stripe(0,46); printf("%c37;44m",esc); printf(" "); stripe(0,46); { stripe(1,80); stripe(1,80); stripe(0,80); stripe(0,80); } stripe(1,80); stripe(1,80); }

stripe(bold,size) int bold,size; { int i; printf("%c41m",esc); else printf("%c47m",esc); putchar(' '); printf("%c0m-n",esc); }

When the compiled program is run from either the Cygwin shell or the standard Windows cmd window, the flag comes out perfect. I would guess the Cygwin.dll needed by the compiled program is providing the ANSI interpretation.

If the text is captured to a file, say flagtest.txt, then from Cygwin

$ cat flagtest.txt

displays correctly, but from Windows cmd

does not.
