The default vt100 does not show colors. I use tcsh still, so in my ~/.tcshrc I put the following: alias ls "ls -G" I prefer to set the CLICOLOR envirinment variable instead, as I somehow avoid aliasing commands when possible. Both ways will use the values set in the already mentioned LSCOLORS as a color scheme: setenv LSCOLORS "ExGxFxdxCxDxDxabagacad" This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext (update)

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com Just in case anyone cares. I moved a copy of the AppleRTL8139Ethernet.kext from a G5 running Panther (which doesn't have a RealTek card in it) to the Beige G3 running 10.2.6 just to see if it'd play or blow things up. I can report that it seems to play, though I've not given it a stress test to see how it behaves under large, contiguous transfers. -- Walter M.

Darwin-dev mailing list (Darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/darwin-dev/site_archiver%40lists.app… One answer to this question is that I have X11 already and thanks to your suggestions (yourself and others responding to the query I posted on this list) I modified bashrc found in /etc which is acting in place of .bashrc (at least this is so in OS X v. 10.3.8). You can create a .bashrc in your home directory and it will be used instead of /etc/bashrc. This is standard bash (and most other shell) behavior -- first it looks for your local rc file, and if there is none it looks for the systemwide default rc file. I would use a local .bashrc instead of modifying the one in /etc. Reason being, the one in /etc may be overwritten by future updates to MacOS X (this advice applies to any UNIX, BTW). You are quite correct to bring this up. Who knows what Apple will do next AND why?? Or any company for that matter...what IBM did in getting rid of it's PC line sends shivers down my spine just because well...spend enough time in IT and one commiserates with others in related IT fields. This may be way off-topic (OT) but the add the new company Lonovo or Lenovo took out in Times Magazine appeared to me as much as a begging plea to not abandon the former IBM line as I've ever seen anywhere. And given how the Communist Government is involved directly in every business venture and they are taking a stance to declare war and invade Taiwan the moment Taiwan commits itself for independence makes the whole venture even more precarious and political unfortunately for all those engineers. If I go ahead with this and am successful with getting eterm to run I'll post what I found out here. I won't remove Terminal, I just won't access it on the dock, if I can get eterm going. eterm supports FreeBSD so we'll see how much BSD, OS X really is. Interesting....No? eterm has already been ported. Go to http://fink.sf.net to download and install Fink (a really nifty open source packaging system for MacOS X). Then, type 'fink install eterm', and let it rip. :) (If you want something more BSDish than fink, google 'darwinports' for a Darwin (MacOS X) version of the BSD ports system. They've probably got eterm too.) I probably won't bother with eterm or iterm, because Terminal is working the way I wish it to thanks to the advice of other members of this list. You should know however that fink and other applications like it won't work with OS X v. 10.3.8, and upcoming Tiger if one goes by the bit shown of it on Apple's website from it's conference in France will probably be even more different! Now if humanity could only improve governments the way we improve operating systems.... Steve West mentioned something rather interesting regarding function keys which led me to review the manual which came with my PB. Yeah, as an real old Mac user (going as far back as System 4) I NEVER read the manual. But right there on p. 7, as plain as day, it states that if the fn key (located next to the control key and just below the shift key) indicated by a drawing on p. 6, but NOT explicitly described in writing on p. 7... so typical) is depressed all the F keys become available as function keys! This in turn also means that the hack discovered by Aaron Jackson which he was kind enough to bring to my attention, can be modified for ANY desired function key at all! I tell you if this keeps up there may well be a beginning movement of Mac Users demanding of God that all the near and about to become departed be perpetually supported by current and all future Apple technology, including one's iPod and what would one possibly do in ANY Universe without one's iLife or .Mac Net support?? Best wishes....and who knows maybe God is really playing his hand here in allowing Apple through the venerable Steve J. to produce these wonderfully interesting and astounding things for users to enjoy, implement and more ... maybe something even better is in use? I mean really ... doesn't God's OS interest anyone's curiosity?? Kinda gives new meaning to Steve Bowman's statement, "Something Wonderful!!" Refer to Arthur C. Clarke's works 2001, 2010. O yeah...for a really freaky experience...download from iconfactory their product known as iPulse and find the "jacket" HAL, and you won't be the same! Really....

However, I cannot take credit for the vim functions. I saw the one for showing the tab spacing on the net somewhere, I just can't remember where... Don't forget the pastetoggle function key. That one comes in handy often enough for me. NOTE: The line ``lineset listchars=tab:\|\ '' has an extra space after the last \ to make it work properly. Make sure that is there. One more thing Aaron...embedding the function key commands into the vimrc is really neat. Thanks for demonstrating how it's done! However, on the latest 1.67 GHz PB the function keys you used are assigned to do something by Apple so I switched the commands to F11 and F12 which are the only blank function keys and everything works wonderfully! Thought you should know....kudos and thanks again for a nice hack! Hi Folks: My question is in regards to Unix color syntax code. This is what I mean, in many versions of Linux and other versions of Unix, each user will find within a directory different colored items consistently indicating folders, files and so on. Also within a program such as vim it is possible to reset the use of the standard color scheme to something akin to one's personal taste and manner of working. One can for example write a dot file manipulating vim to produce line numbers and unique colors for functions in C or C++. I'm sure everyone here, in this list is aware of what I'm referring to. Now to my question: I notice that in OS X (v.10.3.8) this capability is not active. What is the sequence of commands I must use or invoke so that I can see such color syntax as I have described displayed with Terminal and within vim? I'd appreciate any clues or ideas or even directions to other sites or mailing lists discussing this type of thing within Darwin. For color ls and color vim you need to change your terminal type.
