Both. You can change the tables in pcvt: they are located in pcvt_hdr.h
and are called sgr_tab_color[] for color displays, sgr_tab_mono[] for
monochrome displays and sgr_tab_imono[] for monochrome MDA and Hercules
displays which have the intensity bit (but no fontloading memory).
Or you can change it by sending escape sequences, but you first have to
recompile pcvt using an option and second you have to find out the syntax
of the sequences (or ask Bruce Evans) as i wrote in an earlier mail:

See above. There is also a escape sequence available to change the colour
assignments at runtime if pcvt was compiled with option PCVT_SETCOLOR,
if you cannot find out the syntax of the sequences enabled by this by looking
at pcvt_out.c, you'll have to ask Bruce Evans - i included it in ancient
times because he requested it :-)
