Be sure you type colorls -G or do what I do in .cshrc: alias ls /usr/local/bin/colorls -GF but that works only if you're a csh/zsh/tcsh user. Remember color listings are available only on terminals that display color, like pcvt, syscons, and color xterms. Timothy> It works fine under Linux. This might actually is a problem with the package installation ... it really should tell you the alias trick or remind you what options you need to use. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA I got tired of calling the movies to listen to what is playing so I bought the album. -- Steven Wright
