In the Linux Gazette of April there is an article about setting text colors with the color escape sequences (i.e: without curses). The URL (on iglu.org.il) is: http://www.iglu.org.il/LDP/LDP/LG/issue65/padala.html I remember someone asked about how to do that in Fortran in one of the IGLU meetings, without using curses, so this is a detailed coverage of it.
