If that's the case, why don't we change our termcap so that "xterm" and "xterm-color" are the same thing, and "xterm-mono" is there for people who _reall_ don't want color, or have a monochrome display, or whatever. It seems really dumb not to have colour by default, but perhaps there's a good reason. /me runs away for fear of annoying people by even daring to suggest this. --=20 Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D FreeBSD Documentation Project / --lHNupHuuosULgVTo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: LNCk8nYa3wajxBYC+FS4TbdyzRdol39O iQCVAwUBOXTuiisPVtiZOS99AQGoJAP+KO0XEh73cpR0SIKZpboWhjFZZxdZ5YvR T9HELpP2SMOdOeWg+Rk5oaKN7bFj20stzcCb9j0DNLEFwa8apjxWGGHn6CzE9g0+ b7FB0QV/8kr3DPHtKWmeeVmxcpkK43xJS3Y9mG9AqHz65BigQPoXEyAbmXcRy5wR YO4tES9+bdQ= =0/D8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --lHNupHuuosULgVTo-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
