Emacs and ls

[Paul Johnson]

Dear Marcus.

In the Emacs groups, I hear there is no solution for this. Is it true?

On Unix, I can avoid the following problems by using ansi-term instead
of shell inside Emacs.
In Windows, there is no comparable solution.

Here is the problem:

I have color coded ls set in my environment.  WHen I do ls in Emacs's
shell, I get ugly stuff like this:
Calculator.o               Makefile~ 
ObserverSwarm.m  core
ChangeLog                  Market.h  
ObserverSwarm.o  main.m
Competition.h              Market.m  
Parameters.h     main.o
Competition.m              Market.o  
Parameters.m

My prompt, which also has color coding, looks terrible in Emacs shell:

]0;<pauljohn>: 
/tmp/benedikt/comp-current

$ 


ansi-term solves this, but only in Unix. It does not exist in Windows
Emacs

Furthermore, I don't understand why the default Swarm setup does not
cause this problem in the shell too because it has color=auto.
