- To fix the problem where your screen has got the high bit set on all
- the characters, install this script:
-
- #!/bin/sh
- echo ^O^[[r
- clear
-
-
- The ^O and ^[ are control O and escape accordingly. I just install this
- as /usr/bin/fix and run in anytime I accidently cat a binary or something.
