Err, well, I don't read cvs-all, so that's unlikely :)

Hmm, actually, it looks like the "Color ls"[1] thread on -stable from ~ 1=
8 Jul =

2000 that I was remembering, and it seems my recollection may be at fault=
 (I =

couldn't bear to read it /all/ though).

[1] I personally don't like/use colorized ls, find it useful about once e=
very =

2-3 years and couldn't really care less about it.

Well, strictly speaking, 'xterm-color' is also wrong because some other =

systems use it as the type for a different (now obsolete) terminal descen=
ded =

from xterm that supports color. Apparently.

Thomas Dickey in his FAQ:

	http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.faq.html#xterm_terminfo

says to use 'xterm-xfree86' on FreeBSD, because we got the 'xterm-color' =
entry =

wrong. *sigh*

> Mmm, let me see if I can fix things.

That would have to be beer. :)
