Re: color problem on Debian with xterm (putty) at end of lines

["Alexander Varakin" <avarakin00 hotmail com>]

Hi,

I have similar problem on Solaris 8 (directories are black, selected files
keep the original color) , but no problem on AIX and HP-UX.
I am using the same *.ti file on all platforms.
This problem started recently -  March 2002 snapshot was OK,  4.6.0 has this
problem.
I am using xterm of Cygwin port of XFree86, the same problem also exists
with Reflection X.

Alex
