Output to pterm in colors

Can I change the color of text output to pterm with printf by using some
simple ESC codes, or do I need ncurses?
I want to write a simple filter that highlights certain parts of compiler
output, e.g., errors.
Thanks
Markus

I run my pterms in QNX mode. You can look at the Esc codes under Dev.com in
the utilities manual to change color, etc. I think you can do the same if
you run in ascii mode. They’re just different Esc codes.

I start dev.con with default options, which should be qnx.
TERM is qansi-m.
I tried ansi and qnx escape codes but they don’t seem to work

Take a look at the page
http://www.wco.com/~kin/ref/computer/escape/out.html

There you can find all sequences. Don’t forget
if there saying ESC there meaning the real escape code.
