TERM=cygwin colors

[Christopher Cobb]

Hi,

I am using cygwin on W2K.  The color display seems to be off.  I believe
this to be a termcap/terminfo problem.  For example:

   * When I use 'ls --color=auto', directories are dark blue,
     executables are green, but 'normal' files are light cyan.  I
     thought they used to be white.
   * When I use vim and examine, say, a diff file, '!' changes are
     dark blue, '-' changes are red, but '+' changes are the same
     color as the surrounding text (that is, light cyan).  If I use
     rxvt and do the same thing, each type of change correctly
     displays in a different color (using TERM=xterm-color)
   * I think this problem started when I installed XFree86, but I
     have since re-installed cygwin and the color problem persists.
   * I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling termcap and
     terminfo with no change.
   * My infocmp looks like this:

          Does anyone see anything wrong with this?

I realize this is a relatively minor point but it is very aggrevating
and I like my colors!  Any help would be appreciated.
