Windows notes

bore(1) currently requires ENABLEVIRTUALTERMINAL_PROCESSING, which was introduced on or near Windows build 10586. This includes most versions of Windows 10 (1511+), or any version of Windows Server 2016 (1607+) or newer.

The accent colour, currently used to highlight question and record types, might be invisible in some conhost windows, but the root cause is not yet known (issue #4). If affected, try --color never or consider switching to Windows Terminal.
