This happened to me as well and baffled me until I tried the most recent version. Apparently TOP uses some low-level routines which changed slightly between revs. (I went from 2.1.7 to 2.2... don't have 2.2.1) Good luck. -Justin -----Original Message----- From: John A.

P. and Associates Keywords: Cc: I just loaded FBSD 2.2.1 from the CD I got from Walnut Creek. Now when I run top to look at processes it looks like doo-doo. Everything is all garbled. I ftp'ed the latest top distribution and still got the same. What happened? Is there any other info I need to include to resolve this? I really like top!
