Yes, the color red worked - what you were supposed to get is BLINKING red - that is where the problem is! So it seems that ansi escape sequence for BLINKING is broken. Remember when we had broken symbolic links? The BLINKED red. This does not work. Try creating a bogus symbolic link like this: ln -s /foo/goo hoo ls -l hoo You will see a RED "hpp", but not BLINKING RED "hoo". Me thinks there is a problem... ;) No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
