displaying .vt.z files

displaying .vt.z files

alt.ascii-art.animation · 2 messages · 14 Oct 1996 - 15 Oct 1996
This must be a FAQ, but I didn't find a FAQ with the answer ;-)

Hoe do I display these .vt.z files?
I've uudecoded the appropriate parts, but I can't get them to display
anything.
Not by TYPEing them with ANSI.SYS loaded (as I remembered reading somewhere),
not by renaming and running them as a .COM file.

Thanks,
Jan

It's not worth of faq, it's easy. :-)

Guess you're dos'sed. You're got the uuencoded file. So do a gunzip and a
type to it. That's all.

Lucky, if you had some smell of *nix. As stated in the "readme" of them a
simply zcat would do the job.

no DOS no COM no PAIN, Kai
