- I wanted to make a cheap way to embed screen snapshots in text, and
- thought I could use a little ness script of the form
-
- [An Andrew ToolKit view (nessview) was included here, but could not be
- displayed.]
- Turns out, though, that NESS's readfile only reads as ATK objects, files
- containing ATK text objects, so all I get is the error:
-
- > Ness: file not in ATK format "/tmp/Snap2
-
- Sigh. Seems suboptimal. How about returning a marker of length 1 where
- the single ``character'' is the object?
