Re: Fresh RH8.0 install has man page probs...

[Nicholas Marsh]

LANG=c fixed my man page problems...

However, I still have problems with applications like NTSYSV and what not.

A border line in NTSYSV (-----) is displayed as �q|��

Like the man page problem, NTSYSV is only jacked up in SSH connections.

Any ideas???

Thanks!
