AUTHOR

       Jules Stuifbergen <jules@zjuul.net>. Basically, I was bored, and
       rewrote ’logcolorise.pl’ from Michael Babcock from scratch.  Feel free
       to mail me patches, improvements, or fixes.

BUGS

       The Escape codes used for coloring are characters, too, so lines will
       be broken off apparently prematurely.  If there’s no match, the lines
       will be displayed in the default color. If you default color happens to
       be red, the effect of red keywords will disappear.
