The GNU ls, on which it's based, apparently doesn't bother with the escape sequences if standard output isn't a tty. Of course, its configuration differs completely from the colorls utility. ---- Brian Clapper .............................................. bmc@telebase.com http://www.netaxs.com/~bmc/ .............
