ansi escape sequences not working in windows cmd prompt

I tried the ANSI escape sequences like \033[K \033[%dd \033[%dG etc, in AIX. When I used telnet in windows, it didn't work. The same is working fine using putty.

I don't want to use NCURSES, but printfs. Any idea will be appreciated.

Windows's command-prompt is not ANSI.

It has its own set of commands to use, but they are not escape sequences.

You can, however, use ANSI.SYS to gain access to similar functionality.
