Hi

I always used rxvt and it always displayed 16 colors.
But doday, after an apt-get dist-upgrade, and then opening pine, I saw
that it was displaying only 8 colors instead the 16.

I made some tests with it.
I downloaded a script and gave a cat on it, to sse the colors.
Tested with rxvt, xterm and konsole.
Both xterm and konsole displays it correctly, but rxvt not.

The test can be found at http://biolinux.df.ibilce.unesp.br/naoliv/rxvt.png
It's a screenshot showing how the colors are displayed on differente
terminals and the source code of the script that I used to test.

I did not change any configuration of rxvt. I don't know where is that
or where can I change it :-)

But why rxvt stop to show 16 colors?

Thank you very much

Nelson
