how to use /usr/share/doc/rfc?
Is there a convenient way to make use of the RFCs which are installed on a SuSE system from the distribution? They are all zipped and when I try to view them I end up having to unzip them. I suppose I could do something with Apache to automatically unzip them when I view them, but this seems like a kludge. It would also be nice to have an index and search capability for these. TIA, Steve

You can view gzipped files with less---it uses /usr/bin/lesspipe.sh to automatically unzip them.
It would also be nice to have an index and search capability for these.

You can view them with /usr/bin/zless | /usr/bin/zmore.

zcat file | less should work also... Ken

If I am right on this yet, I have used Midnite C. for viewing... But do not bother if I got that "mind-mixed" :-) -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤Oliver@home*º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤

Ah yes, I could *not* live without that tool (mc). It will automatically uncompress when you view. However, disk space is cheap, so I did a 'gzip -d *' in the directory. That way, I can <Alt>-<Shift>-? to search all of them for specific text. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6t4E9HYysNB5h3fIRAoaqAJ4+wDo0/C0ePSsJ/svYzFtgpwB1SACgszA7 4b8fS3pxu90zYyH6krExmpk= =wj7n -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
