Printing in Color

Can we use 'print' or 'format' to print(on standard output) in color?

The same way you would print in color to *standard-output*/stdout in any
language.
It totally depends what *standard output* is connected to.

First console options:

Under windows 95/98 there is a ANSI driver you can run under command that
allows the use of color. A devive=ansi.sys needs to be in config.sys. (You
can look up 'ANSI color')

I guess you have NT or higher which doesn't support a ANSI driver.
There is batch command @color which might work. (you can look up 'cmd
color')

Now the REPL options:

For the ACL REPL I don't know. Try the documentation.
For the SLIME/ilisp REPL (lookup 'EMACS color'')

This was discussed some about two weeks ago on this list. You may find
something of worth there, too. It had "color" in the title.
