I have followed the direction on this site http://softkube.com/blog/ansi-command-line-colors-under-windows/ for downloading ansicon so I can have colored text in my command line. I run windows 7 on a 64-bit system. I extracted the downloaded zip files from my downloads directory into C:\ansicon. When I cd to the ansicon directory and type "ansicon -i" it responds with
'ansicon' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
What's going wrong here?
Well the instructions on that page are slightly misleading, the directory ansicon will contain one subdir for x86 (32 bits) and one for x64 (64 bits).
In a command window (win-r, cmd) go to
c:\ansicon\x64
and there execute
ansicon -i
