To complement this I have now added 'vbidecode' and 'videotext' to the ports collection /usr/ports/misc 'vbidecode' lets to decode teletext pages and save them to disk as .vtx files. There is one file for each page / sub-page 'videotext' lets to view/print/save to GIF and PNG the saved .vtx files. It also allows background searching of all teletext pages on disk. Instructions are a bit complicated at this time, but I suggest you read the Teletext instructions at http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/bt848 In addition, there is Juha's ASCII .vtx file viewer at http://qn-lpr2-98.quicknet.inet.fi:22/stuff/vtxview.c Good luck Roger -- Roger Hardiman Strathclyde Uni Telepresence Research Group, Glasgow, Scotland. http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk 0141 548 2897 roger@cs.strath.ac.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
