ANSI C: Screen handling

Hello!

We're learning ANSI C in school and we need to make a project by ourselves.
I got an idea and now I need some help (just a bit):
Does someone know what functions shall I use for:
-clear screen
-change color of text
-change color of background

And there's another requrement:
It has to work under Windows and LINUX!

Zvonko

Esc[2J clears the screen where Esc = 27

Here is a complete list of codes.

But does it work under LINUX?
