depends on what you are looking for. You could use more or less and look through the html markup. you cuold use mozilla or firefox. you could also install lynx and view it.

Hi Donald:

You need to define what you mean by "read" here. As already noted, maybe you want to render it with a browser. Maybe you simply want to view the HTML source. Perhaps you wnat to parse the HTML source and extract some data from it. You need to be more specific and define the end objective.

Regards!

you're right i have to be more specific. i've been running oracle patches on my app server and each one of the patches has an html file that cescribes the patch process. I've been copying them to my pc and then opening them with ie7, it didn't dawn on me that mozilla was on my unix server. i've only been using unix for about 4 yrs and sometimes i get lost in forest... thanks to all..

>that mozilla was on my unix server.

You might want to install firefox:

You can use mozilla on hp-ux.
run
#mozilla

use file menu to open required html file

Depends on the system installation, one can use Mozilla, lynx or Firefox:

swlist -l product|grep -i mozilla
swlist -l product|grep -i firefox

Otherwise, as said above, we are left with cat, more, etc.
