First of all, the COLORTERM entry did exactly what I was looking for.
But why not adding something like that by default.
Since it works for all slang programs I think it should get into a

Its more easy to put a `#'-sign in front of some lines than searching for
the correct variable set
As a further note, we are using SCO and an older version of Slackware. On
the Slackware machine, we compiled in a patch so that the command

hoping there's a way to do it on the linux box without patching anything.

I'm presently running my system with smail. What I'd like to do is
to convert to an easier to configure and more capable MTA, which I
believe is exim (correct me if I'm wrong:-).
However, I'm in a catch-22. dselect/dpkg won't allow me to remove
smail because so many packages depend on it. An

I let dselect install all the basic pre-selected packages. All good.
Then I followed the libc5 to libc6 howto to the letter.

The largest hurdle that you are going to face is getting smail off of your
system so you can install exim. You are going to need to force dpkg to remove
this essential package.
I would wait a little while, the package in unstable is much better than the
one in stable and a new upstream source re

Hello all,
I'm posting here because this used to work when I was using Slackware. I
have a mac (my wife won't migrate to Linux ... yet!) and a linux box
connect by ethernet. I run X11 on the linux machine, and because the
monitor on the mac is so much nicer, I like to use a X server on it.
