Hi people,
I got a text file created by an application, which outputs using the
ncurses library.
The file itself contains a lot of escaped sequences.
There is a way for me to display correctly the file in a terminal?

I know how to output escaped strings from a C program, or in the
terminal a single string (echo -e), but I'm at a loss with cat'ting a
whole file (and no, piping it doesnt work either)

thanks for any hint...
