Anyone using `batcat` or `lolcat` as `cat` alternatives?

Ron, I don't recall the last time I used `cat` from the command line. Either I use `less`, or I drop the file into Emacs. I think I have used `cat` in scripts where I just want text dumped. How do I Google information on `lolcat` and find out about text readers? -- Howard Gibson hgibson@eol.ca http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson
