Woohoooooooooooo!!!!!!! thanks heaps =>
from da Bobstopper --------------------Snip ------------------------ are you sure that file is ascii text and not a binary file? if i for example run: cat /bin/ls my terminal gets totally screwed and unreadable but still works (hey encrypted terminal! :)))) to fix run: setterm -reset or just reset, but that screws up some keybindings sometimes and you get ^H^H^H crap again when you use backspace. before using cat or tail on a file you are not certain to be plain text run file filename first that will tell you what the data is, if it responds as data, or elf binary file or anything other then text you should not try and run head, tail, cat etc on it.
