Maybe your character set is set to UTF-8 when you don't actually have a UTF-8 terminal. LC_ALL=C prevents it from trying to use fancy unicode line-printing characters.

What is the output of your locale command?

The set of language-specific characters in your environment is (maybe erronously) set so that the line-drawing characters are replaced by some other characters (which you called "junk"). Which set of characters is taking these places (german umlauts, french accents, ....) is controlled by the "LC_ALL" variable. To set this variable to "C" means to use a set of characters without any diacriticals at all, which is enough for english language but probably no other.

When you enter a certain setting for a variable and then a command it means that the value for this variable is in effect only for this one command. This means:

Code:
# LC_ALL=C tree
# tree

The first of the two commands will have set LC_ALL to "C" and therefore work, the second one will produce junk again because "LC_ALL" is set to something else.

Solution: set the variable somewhere where it has a lasting effect. The best place is your shells startup file: "~/.kshrc" if you use ksh (Korn shell), "~/.bashrc" if you use bash (Bourne Again Shell).

Put in the respective file the following line:

Code:
LC_ALL=C ; export LC_ALL

and start a new shell.

I hope this helps.
