As in making your code show up in colors in your editor?

That's completely the editor's doing, and has nothing to do with the actual code.
Personally I'm an emacs fan, and that one's color free. Bluefish is a decent editor though, if you go for full-sized, and I expect it's colored in C (I only use it for html).

emmm im using visual studio 2005 beta, and i would like the output in colors . :d

I don't know what visual studio does. Are you talking about colored code on the screen while your editing? Anjuta or Kdevelop, vim, emacs, etc. will do it.

I'd look up the syntax if you want to continue in this line, but if you're running a Windows, it may not work so well, as seen in that article.

The output in the terminal in color can be made with ncurses if that's what you want.

To permanently colour code, I'd use Term::AnsiColor in Perl; print to screen and pipe the output to a file. If you cat the file, it comes out with colours on.

HTH,

Ok, I use a program that colors the code. It works in Windows. It is called 'pcGRASP' and it is made by Auburn University. It is a little difficult to set up, but once you have all the options set correctly it is AWESOME!!!! I use it for Java, C, C++, and a couple others. I highly advise it. I got my copy through a class I took, but try to google it and you should be able to find a good version.

That is the website to get pcGRASP. They have developed a more specific one for Java only, but I like the C and C++ support that pcGRASP has.
