However, I ultimately would like to support other terminals than xterm (especially Windows), that I assume have different ANSI codes. So, two questions: What are the most common terminals that differ in the ANSI codes they use, and how can I detect which of those terminals the program is running on? Where can I find out what codes those terminals use for color?
