Sheldon,
# > Maybe you have a stale termcap.db?
#
# Argh, how stupid of me.
<GUMP>Stupid is who does stupid things</GUMP> :-)
# I tried removing TERM=xterm-color without rolling forward to your latest
# version where xterm has colour support!
#
# Your fix works great, thanks.
#
# Do you have time to commit mention of it to UPDATING? If so, please
# draw Bruce Mah's attention to the delta so that he can steal your text
# for use in the release notes. If not, I'll get around to it eventually.
# :-)
I just added a note to src/UPDATING. Bruce, are you listening
for the release notes?
20020827:
Our /etc/termcap now has all the entries from the XFree86 xterm
almost unchanged. This means xterm now supports color by default.
If you used TERM=xterm-color in the past you now should use
TERM=xterm. (xterm-color will lead to benign warnings).
Regards,
Jens
