Colours with Linux terminals: Software 7. SoftwareAll the information described here is assuming a GNU/Linux installation. If you have something else (like e.g. a Sun running X or so) you can get and compile the actual software yourself.The colour version of 'xterm' is based on the standard xterm source with a patch available from any X11R6 site. The xterm distributed with R6.3 is rumoured to have native colour support, but is untested by me. ftp://ftp.denet.dk/pub/X11/contrib/utilities/color-xterm-R6pl5-patch.gzSee the documentation if you use an older version of X. Note: I haven't tried this myself!'ls' is in the GNU fileutils package available from prep.mit.edu or one of the several mirrors. Get at least version 3.13. ftp://ftp.denet.dk/pub/gnu/fileutils-3.XX.tar.gzI have myself successfully compiled color-ls on Solaris, SunOS and Irix.I would appreciate feedback on this text.
