Hi,

I use tee on W7 pro.

tee reports itself as follows:

Usage: tee [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Copy standard input to each FILE, and also to standard output.

  -a, --append              append to the given FILEs, do not overwrite
  -i, --ignore-interrupts   ignore interrupt signals
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

If a FILE is -, copy again to standard output.

Report bugs to <address@hidden>.

D:\bp\Allgem>tee --version
tee (GNU coreutils) 5.3.0

I use tee often to duplicate output of several build processes. This output happens to be coloured. However - once output is passed through tee, the colours disappear. I would be happy to see preserved colours :)

Regards,

Pelle.
