People pay hundreds of dollars for commercial products that are this good and this completed. Question 1: This may be an "RTFM" question, but I read the info in "info" and I still don't quite understand how to get colors when I do "ls" or "dir". (I've got DJGPP on an NT box at work and a W2K box at home, but not on the W98 box yet.) My Unix box at work has a nice color "ls" and I'd love to have the same capability in Win/DOS. Question 2: Why so much spam on a comp.* newsgroup? I frequent an alt.* newsgroup that gets very little spam. It caught me by surprise that a comp.* group would have more than an alt.* group. (I'ts not your fault; I'm just curious.) -- Regards Ray Depew Agilent Technologies "Hey, capacity THIS, scone boy." - Chris Clarke does his part for international relations
