Hi all,

I have another small problem (probably my own ignorance, tell me to
RTFM if I missed it) under DJGPP bash.

All of the ANSI terminal control sequences that our bash scripts use
are being displayed literally when using DJGPP bash, which is this
version:

$bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.04.7(1)-release (i686-pc-msdosdjgpp)
Copyright 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Example of terminal sequences:

←[1;36m   Checking ←[1;37muname←[1;36m
←[790D←[60C←[1;37m[←[1;32m  ok  ←[1;37m]←[0m
←[1;36mPress the ←[1;37mENTER←[1;36m key to continue←[1;36m
Checking ←[1;37muname←[1;36m ←[790D←[60C←[1;37m[←[1;32m  ok
 ←[1;37m]←[0m
←[1;36mPress the ←[1;37mENTER←[1;36m key to continue

I tried exporting TERM=pcansi, but that didn't change the behavior.  Is
there any way to use ANSI control sequences under DJGPP bash?

OS is WinXP SP2 with all current updates, file system is NTFS-only,
DJGPP bash is taken from "current/v2gnu" on the delorie ftp site.

TIA for any info, RTFM, etc. you can provide.

Peter
