+This is a simple hack to the FreeBSD /bin/ls to use ANSI sequences to
+display file attributes in color. There is a -G flag (somewhat
+similar to the -F flag). Take a look at the man page for details.
+
+Standard xterm prior to XFree86 3.1.2B doesn't know about colors, so
+you should use update your XFree86 or use kterm (available from the
+packages collection).
