setcolor equivalent command

[josel]

Howdy!

Migrating from SCO 5.0.6 to SuSE Linux 9.x

I use the 'setcolor' command as a way to identify
work environment. My end-user have very much grown
used to this. I cannot find a LINUX equivalent.

This is one of my color squemes:

        setcolor hi_white
        setcolor -b blue
        setcolor -r black lt_cyan;;

Above gives me strong white foreground, blue background,
cyan blue hilight w/ black foreground.

How can I do same in LINUX?

Thank you all in advance!

you don't have these commands in linux, you have "escaped character codes" (ASCII colors). e.g.:

printf "\033[0;5mHello World"

printf "\033[1;4;30;41mHello World"
