I think it is "set term to a terminal not supporting color and autocolor-ls won't output color escapes". Also, if stdout is not a terminal, color codes are omitted (eg "ls --color=auto | less"). On a couple of Solaris 7/8 systems I have access to, 'xterm' doesn't support color (in termcap), but does have underlining and bolding of text. It is very annoying since my terminals/emulators support color just fine (when logging in to a Linux box). I couldn't find any terms in /etc/termcap that supported color except for a few special ones that didn't work at all with my emulator. -D
