+<h1>TTYREC files</h1>
+<div class="nav"><a href="/">rlgallery.org</a> -&gt; <a href="/about/">About</a> -&gt; TTYRECs</div>
+<div class="content">
+<p>TTYREC files are recordings of text-based sessions, much like screencasts are recordings of graphical sessions. The Roguelike Gallery and other roguelike 
+sites create ttyrec recordings of games played online, so that others can watch them. The <a href="/archive.cgi">Archiver</a> will search rlgallery.org's 
+ttyrecs for you.</p>
+<p>As you might expect, ttyrecs are not video files that can be played in video players. They contain mostly text, and you will need a ttyrec player to 
+watch them.</p>
+<p><a href="http://0xcc.net/ttyrec/">The original ttyrec program</a> comes with ttyplay.</p>
+<p><a href="http://angband.pl/termrec.html">Termrec</a> includes termplay, which is easy to use and works on Windows.</p>
+<p><a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/ipbt/">IPBT</a> is a newer player that allows you to rewind while playing.</p>
+<p>A ttyrec produced on one kind of terminal will not play properly on a different kind of terminal. Most modern terminals are similar and should produce 
+compatible ttyrecs, but you might come across a file that won't work.</p>
+<p>Replaying also might not work properly if your terminal is a different size from the one that produced the ttyrec. If things are getting drawn in the 
+wrong places, try making your terminal bigger. Unfortunately, ttyrecs don't tell you what the proper size is.</p>
+<p>(But it can sometimes be deduced, if you don't mind poking around with a hex editor.  Check near the beginning for the sequence 
+<span class="metavar">&lt;escape&gt;</span>[1;<span class="metavar">&lt;number of rows&gt;</span>r )</p>
+<p>Note: if you are using ipbt, you must also tell ipbt what size terminal to use. Check ipbt's documentation.</p>
