(or something like that) Its not quite that bad to get color working on Solaris, but its not pleasant. The easiest way around it is to use one of the Solaris supplied terminals that supports color (dtterm). If that doesn't suit you (and it doesn't me), then you have to supplement Sun terminfo information. Here's [1] partial directions for doing this. Basically, you have to get terminfo for terminals that Sun doesn't support from a Linux box (or somewhere else), then compile it into a Sun ready format with "tic". Then you just have to use a color ready terminal like rxvt, NOT Sun's xterm. 1. http://www.balug.org/ml/balug-talk/msg00813.html -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |Dmitry's free,Jon's next? http://faircopyright.org
