I once used .mailcap for displaying images files localy from a remote tin. I could remember how to do it again, but I remember it being very ungainly. I replaced that with a c program. Finally I used a script filter. You use the write to stdin and filter through key, "|" in tin. Must be something similar in slrn. Uudeview is a smart decoder for both mime 7 bit encoding (forgot its name right now) and uuencoded files - very useful for viewing those fine arts newsgroups. The apc vt320 escape sequence and kermit are not needed . They would both just be a viewing command for you - display probably. At one time I used an echo and read so you could choose the viewer on the fly, mtvp fo mpegs for instance. This was a pain because I got a raw terminal and had to change it and change it back. But what you are trying to do should be very accomplishable. #!/usr/bin/sh cat > $HOME/News/See/Tmp uudeview -i -d -p $HOME/News/See $HOME/News/See/Tmp rm $HOME/News/See/Tmp Image=`ls $HOME/News/See/` kermit -s $HOME/News/See/$Image apc_echo "run display $Image, output \13" rm $HOME/News/See/* #not done The problem is the the uudecoding , for instance in lynx without the decoding it becomes much easier and practical to use metamail. .mailcap image/*; putz %s ;needsterminal #!/bin/sh kermit -s $* PICTURE=`basename $*` apc_echo "run display $PICTURE" > > "Make voyages, attempt them, there's nothing else." > --Tennessee Williams > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > >
