[-- Attachment #1 --] > Are you talking about the postings on cvs-all or? 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 ~ 18 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 every 2-3 years and couldn't really care less about it. > >I'm also not about to start frobbing said systems to understand 'xterm-color' > >or 'cons25' term types (another annoyance, but 'ansi' works well enough for > >most things), 'coz this just doesn't scale. > > Mmm, so that's where the xterm-color stuff came from. Well, strictly speaking, 'xterm-color' is also wrong because some other systems use it as the type for a different (now obsolete) terminal descended 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. :) Regards, AS [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE81VzDPHh895bDXeQRAlhQAJ9TlY8QP3scEvUfowdgUSW8A5hdAwCfazsu NfVxdxgt7wa0oZWGNZFdBMg= =4bmM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
