I think having the ability to specify colorsets as profiles will be a must-have. Read the LSCOLORS description in ls(1). - Does it meet style(9)? I'm wondering about line lengths now. One unfortunate thing about /bin/sh: [from the sh(1) manpage] Only one of the -e and -n options may be specified. This means that we may not be able to use the -n to chain multiple echos on one line... Other than that, do we have general consensus that these do what they > claim?
