Question Deal with ANSI-fied files

Thanks

You might try being a bit more descriptive. What do you mean by an "ANSI-fied file", what methods are you using to read them, and what behaviour do you interpret as failure?

Sorry for confusion
In order to learn the programming, I downloaded some file, which is described as "ANSI-fied file" postfix is a (*.a), in the web. I tried to open it by Xemacs under Linux, but some strange characters, which can not be read, are displayed. That is my problem, cheers

I recommend you run far away (and rapidly) from whatever website it was.

.a filetype is not human readable source code - object code library.

.c is the filetype you will see for human readable C source code.
