                      NOS Teletekst 102 

Displays the requested NOS Teletekst page on the command line. Pages are identified by a three-digit number optionally followed by a subpage, for example 100 or 302-2. All subpages are printed if not specified.

If no page argument is given, nostt runs interactively.

See the manual page for more details: man nostt.

Teletext's 6-cell (2x3) block characters are displayed as % characters as they cannot be accurately reproduced in a terinal without special fonts. (The NOS viewer and API uses a custom font with these characters in the "private use" 0xF000 Unicode range.)

Color output is disabled by default in MinTTY on Windows. This is because MinTTY redirects standard output. Set CLICOLOR_FORCE to 1 to force color output: env CLICOLOR_FORCE=1 nostt

Should work on Windows and any Unix, including Linux and macOS.

macOS with Homebrew from my tap:

brew install sjmulder/tap/nostt

NetBSD (and more, using pkgsrc):

pkg_add nostt

FreeBSD:

pkg install nostt

From source:

1. Download and extract the source code of the latest release.

2. Install the dependencies, e.g. on Debian or Ubuntu:

   sudo apt install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev libjson-c-dev
   

3. In the source directory:

   make

   See the Makefile for more options. Uninstall with sudo make uninstall.

Building on Windows is supported through MinGW. A CMake build file is also included for convenience.
