It just works, except I'm having strange xterm problem, the red color is now bright green and green is some dark violet. After some playing replaced the xterm binary with previous 3.3.6 one which works as expected. It's not termcap problem or such. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
