Re: [aclug-L] drive mounting

[jeffrey.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxx]

It was a .hlp file.  I had thought those were basically ascii with
formatting, but it wouldn't print.  Anyway, last night I simply cp'd a text
file over to the floppy and it is readable.  As for the display, it was in
bash at the command line, not in x.  I had understood that reset fixed the
display if one tried to read a binary file.  It looked like Klingonese
after reading the help file.  :)

Thanks for the response, Bob.

It really was not an ascii file would be my guess...  Some times it is
hard to tell from the directory listing what kind of file it is...  I
assume too, that you are *not* talking about a X windows based
display...
Does anybody know how to clean up and re-start your terminal display w/o
having to log back in?
