Desiderata.... too

[Day Brown]

I have a large set of dos ANSI color screens that I'd
like to see in nix, and a batch program to display them
in order, and then keep track of which screens were seen.

Is there a nix tool to convert dos batch into Linux script?

I subbed here hoping to learn something of ncurses,
which I had thought was the nix version of batch.
which it may be, but it is also so much more powerful
that it seems to have a lot of commands that I will
have to acquaint myself with, but for my purposes,
actually never use.

Is there a more appropriate scripting tool I should
look into?
