Very simple. Just "zcat"s and pipes through "more" any files found on the command line. Much more convenient than typing the above command every time you want to view one of these .ascii.gz files: ----- CUT HERE ----- #!/bin/sh zcat $* | more ----- CUT HERE ----- Save this to a file (I call mine "zv", short for "zview"), set executable permissions on it (chmod +x zv), and put it somewhere in your PATH (I keep mine under $HOME/bin). Then you can do, for example, "cd /usr/share/doc/smm/05.fastfs" and "zv paper.ascii.gz", or even "zv *.gz". Hope you'll find this useful. -- Conrad Sabatier "I can't complain, but sometimes I still do." -- Joe Walsh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
