Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello! I've got a stupid question. I just scan through the /usr/share/doc/ and I found some interesting papers that I would like to read. However they're disposed as: 01.setup/ 06.nfs/ 11.timedop/ 02.config/ 07.lpd/ 12.timed/ 03.fsck/ 08.sendmailop/ 18.net/ 04.quotas/ 09.sendmail/ Title.ascii.gz 05.fastfs/ 10.named/ contents.ascii.gz I *know* that I can do 'gunzip -c | more' to read them directly, but isn't this format readable by something else? (i.e. info?) Any tips or suggestions welcome!
