win32console gem is a wrapper around this project:

http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32console/

Which is a direct port from Perl.

That means API-wise should be pretty similar.

However, I've asked before what is the usage of win32console here:

http://blog.mmediasys.com/2009/12/17/win32console-upcoming-changes-and-feedback/

And people responded that they mainly use to mimic ANSI coloring in
the terminal, not all the Win32::Console functionality.

Also, in this release it no longer automates the codepage conversion,
which will need to be done manually. See here:

I noticed it doesn't seem to do "too much" for colored specs.

Any guess as to who's to blame there?
Thanks.

Are you using autospec? If so, is not win32console, as I mentioned to
you before.

This as proven to work for standard Windows prompt without any issue,
and I use it for "rake spec" in rake-compiler:

C:\Users\Luis\Projects\oss\rake-compiler>type spec\spec.opts
--colour
--format nested
--loadby mtime

The RSpec people seem to think it might be a win32console problem:
