All I want to do is view colorized ASCII text log files with embedded BBS-style ANSI color codes that were generated on a Sun box, but it seems almost impossible to find a simple viewer ... on Windows ... for this purpose.

I don't want to install .NET, or jump through hoops. A console-based Windows app is just fine (my first thought was "less", but the port I have doesn't support the -R option required).

I may end up installing a DOS viewer for this purpose, but I admit I'm somewhat floored that something like this isn't lying around somewhere. ACIDView comes close, but it wraps a 132-column file which isn't acceptable.

Anyone?

I seem to remember an app called ANSIViewer.... i think its a DOS app. Nothing comes to mind specifically for windows though.

I wish I had a Sun workstation. What do you use it for?
