You also need to add termcap entries to the correct escape sequences (once you got xterm to use colors) peter h Brian Lintz (blintz@webpromote.com) wrote: : I've got a quick/curious question for anybody that's got an : answer handy .... : on my linux machine, ls produces color output ... : on bsdi, it doesn't. : I'd like to change that... : Ideas? : Brian -- -- <peter.devnull@cyklop.volvo.se> (remove ".devnull" before use!)
