Sorry, I've been reading too many google searches, they are VCF files I
hoped to be able to display in a more readable form
Here is one f them: /home/bobg/Desktop/Dr. MAISENBACHER.vcf
Fedora wants to display them with Evolution but that comes up in black
text on white in a separate window, almost unreadable for me. I was
hoping to find something that would display it in a terminal which I
always view as white on a black background. This is not a matter of
aesthetics, but what seems to work with my deteriorating sight.
