suggestion for /etc/DIR_COLORS used by ls(1)

[Victor Meghesan]

Hello,

My suggestion for improving the /etc/DIR_COLORS file,
used by ls(1), is to move the 'COLOR tty' section
(lines 6 to 10) after the 'TERM' section
(lines 18 to 33).

This should improve ls output in the case
when users are connecting to a GNU/Linux machine
from other Unices with other termcap/terminfo files.

For example:
When I connect from SCO OpenServer or SCO UnixWare
to a GNU/Linux machine, the ls output is
full of ascii garbage like \033]01 using the default
/etc/DIR_COLORS file. After I made the above
change to the file, the output is correct.

Best regards,
Victor Meghesan
