   2 'make' should build the whole thing.

   4 vtx2ascii is a simple converter, build out of the videotext sources.
   5 In fact only the main.c is my work, all other C code is just copyed
   6 from the videotext package.  Start it without arguments to get help.

   8 vtx.cgi is a cgi script for converting vtx-pages on-the-fly.  Lynx
   9 approved, with netscape 4 (style sheets required) you'll get colors.
  10 Uses vtx2ascii.  You have to adjust two config lines at the top of
  11 the script.  Usage is very simple, just copy it to your server's
  12 cgi-bin directory and point your browser to it.  If you want, you
  13 can hide it with a Alias like this one:
  14         ScriptAlias /videotext /home/www/cgi/vtx.cgi    # in srm.conf
  15
  16 vtx.cgi delivers a correct last-modified header (=> cacheable pages)
  17 for fast browsing.  For script hacking you probably want to turn this
  18 off...

  20 Known issues: can't show hidden text, 8-bit chars don't work (wrong
  21 mapping), probably more.  It is'nt tested much, sort of prototype.
