Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I would like to know how to have a color display in the terminal...
In the sense that,
In many linux terminals,we have color coded for each file type,
green for executable ,blue for dirs and so on...

I wanted to know how i can have the same arrangement in solaris(b-79a)

I am not sure if its a script that is doing this,or a pkg or a simple command line options...

So pls assist!!!

Thanks

The simplest way is, IMHO, to download the gnu version of ls (sunfreeware.com ?)
PS:That was one of my question back then when i first got hold to a non-linux box :smiley:
