[nos-bbs] How open *.txt.gz files of the list

[Miguel Bahi Cruz]

ok, Bob, What text reader are you using?
I try with gedit and open office writer with no success.
With gedit I have warning but only displays, "detect auto char conversion" and don't works, and in the option of charsets, don't appear mac option.
With office writer, I have mac chars , but it don't reads ok.

    Hi Miguel,

      

      I have exactly the same problem, it looks like the character
      encoding, can't read them automatically.

      in my browsers.

      I also downloaded one of the (g) zipped archived files  and I can
      correctly unzip it with gunzip

      but the text is a mess.

      I only get a warning "converted from a MAC format" if I open the
      resulting .txt file , hmm and this is

      all in Ubuntu.

      (The old MAC format way before OS X  used CR as line breaks)

      Same happens with the linux list at their site.

      Strange as TAPR uses Debian at their server.

      

      73,

      hi, I want read the archives of the mailing list,
        and can't not open this.
        

        
        I try in windows with winrar, it extracts the files,  but ,
          the txt file is only a collection of a "Chinese" characters.
        I try in Ubuntu with the file roller utility, and the
          result is the same.
        

        
        Help Please.
        

        
        Thanks
