+---------- [vshnu] no colors ----------
| i recently installed vshnu and i can't get any colors.
| my normal xterm displays colors fine -- any suggestions?

Well, first let's test your xterm ...

Download and run this /bin/sh script:

http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler/home/binp/termcolors

Make sure the line that begins with "esc=" has an escape character and
a left square bracket in between the single quotes. If running this
displays a colorful table, then you've got a terminal with ANSI color
support.

Next, let's test your termcap and perl installation. Run this command
line, substituting "/usr/local/bin/perl" with the path from the first
line of your installed vshnu script:

/usr/local/bin/perl -e 'use Term::ANSIColor; print colored("test\n", "red")'

It should print the word "test" in red.

Let me know how it goes. -sk
