Command wrappers and other goodies.

[Beastie]

I like to have colors in my command output. Here are a few wrappers I know of:

1) CW.
- Written in C.
- Compiles and work on GNU/Linux, BSD and Mac OS X
- cw
- There are lots of commands supported and you can make your own wrapper for other commands.
- Example:

2) Cope.
- Written in Perl.
- cope
- Looks the same than CW.

3)Supercat.
- written in C.
- Syntax coloring in cat.
