NAME
       replay - play back typescripts, using timing information

SYNOPSIS
       replay timingfile [typescript [divisor]]

DESCRIPTION
       This program replays a typescript, using timing informa-
       tion to ensure that output happens at the same speed as it
       originally appeared when the script was recorded. It is
       only guaranteed to work preperly if run on the same termi-
       nal the script was recorded on.

       The timings information is what script outputs to standard
       error if it is run with the -t parameter.

       By default, the typescript to display is assumed to be
       named "typescript", but other filenames may be specified,
       as the second parameter.

       If the third parameter exits, it is used as a time divi-
       sor. For example, specifying a divisor of 2 makes the
       script be replayed twice as fast.

EXAMPLE
        % script -t 2> timingfile
        Script started, file is typescript
        % ls
        <etc, etc>
        % exit
        Script done, file is typescript
        % replay timingfile
