Hello Giorgos, Thursday, November 08, 2001, 9:53:02 AM, you wrote: GK> Colorization is silently disabled if the output isn't GK> directed to a terminal unless the CLICOLOR_FORCE GK> variable is defined.

(Actually, don't comment on that one :^) 1) What is CLICOLOR_FORCE supposed to be defined as? Is setting it to something like "1" valid? 2) I don't understand what multi-colum output (-C) has to do with color. :^( I generally use SecureCRT to ssh into my FreeBSD box on my LAN; since SecureCRT can't send a termtype of xterm or xterm-color, I've tried putty as well. Neither have worked. Could you offer a little bit more help? Thanks, brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
