Re:Disabling ANSI color output

I use 9term (from plan9port[0]) as my standard terminal emulator. It has no support for colours. Plan9port comes with a command, nobs, which strips ANSI colour from output. Setting PAGER=nobs and TERM=dumb takes care of a lot of the colour outputting.
9term also does not support a lot of other terminal features. Using it I’ve noticed that there are two kinds of terminal programs:
1. Programs that uses the terminal as a GUI.
2. Programs that can be composed with other programs.
I prefer a program in category 2, since I like scripting to automate my tasks.
