Well what about the ASCII line-draw characters. I'm thinking that at least those should be morphed over into ----- + etc. If I "cat" one of the screen dumps to my VTY it "looks just fine" of course, but if I bring it into Emacs or look at it over a vt100 terminal it looks like Borg. I'm not saying go crazy with the full character translation, but at least the ASCII line draw stuff spewed out by /stand/sysinstall. I can try to tinker with it this weekend. Please let me know if you want me to or if you will continue to look at it. -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, (space for rent, cheap!) | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
