- Subject: Strange characters
Hello,
I was studying man pages more deeply in Cygwin and I can not solve a problem
involving strange (format ?) characters. As an example, here is a part of "man
zip".
______________________________________________________________
zipnote [â^'hwL] [â^'b path] zipfile
zipsplit [â^'hiLpst] [â^'n size] [â^'b path] zipfile
DESCRIPTION
zip is a compression and file packaging utility for Unix, VMS, MSDOS,
OS/2, Windows NT, Minix, Atari and Macintosh, Amiga and Acorn RISC OS.
It is analogous to a combination of the UNIX commands tar(1) and
comâ??
press(1) and is compatible with PKZIP (Phil Katzâ?Ts ZIP for MSDOS
sysâ?? tems).
______________________________________________________________
Although some colors appear in the text description (white, grey and navy
blue), a set of "â", "^", "'" makes impossible to understand some parts.
I tried to change enviroment variables such as $LANG, $TERM, $CYGWIN with no
results. I made a fresh new installation and the problem re-appears.
What's wrong?
My cygwin dll is 1.5.5, Windows XP Pro, bash 2.05b.
Marcus
