As an example, here is a part of "man zip". ______________________________________________________________ zipnote [â^'hwL] [â^'b path] zipfile zipsplit [â^'hiLpst] [â^'n size] [â^'b path] zipfile DESCRIPTION zip is a compression and file packaging utility for Unix, VMS, MSDOS, OS/2, Windows NT, Minix, Atari and Macintosh, Amiga and Acorn RISC OS. It is analogous to a combination of the UNIX commands tar(1) and comâ?? press(1) and is compatible with PKZIP (Phil Katzâ?Ts ZIP for MSDOS sysâ?? tems). ______________________________________________________________ Although some colors appear in the text description (white, grey and navy blue), a set of "â", "^", "'" makes impossible to understand some parts. I tried to change enviroment variables such as $LANG, $TERM, $CYGWIN with no results. I made a fresh new installation and the problem re-appears. What's wrong? My cygwin dll is 1.5.5, Windows XP Pro, bash 2.05b.
