   4 Description
   5 -----------
   6 Colorize aims at being a small, independent and handy command-line
   7 text colorizing tool.  It emits ANSI escape sequences in order to
   8 color lines of text; also, sequences emitted by colorize or foreign
   9 programs may be cleared.
  10
  11 The main code is written in C (c89 mostly), whereas the test script
  12 consists of Perl code.
  13
  14 Colorize is known to build and test successfully on Linux and
  15 Net/Open/MirBSD.  Other platforms are untested, so be prepared for
  16 it to eventually not work as expected there.

  18 Requirements
  19 ------------
  20 gcc
  21 make
  22 perl
  23
  24 Build instructions
  25 ------------------
  26 Issue `make' to build colorize.
  27
  28 Once completed, run the tests with `make check'.
  29
  30 Then you should most likely have a working binary.  There are
  31 currently no make targets to install it as such.
  32
  33 Finally, remove it through `make clean'.
