No such change was made in b76. If you are talking about underlines being present where they are supposed to be when using less as a pager with man, those have been working for some time. You need to be more specific about what problem you are talking about, because I don't see one in b76 or b74. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
