okay bestie, so this one's from the zplay(1) corner of the General Commands Manual, and honestly? it's giving vintage. π
β¨ NAME β¨
zplay β a modem utility to record and play voice files ποΈπ¦
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
so like. zplay is obsolete. not "a little old", not "kinda quirky", we're talking fully obsolete, like it graduated and moved on. π
please use the new vm utility instead, bestie. that's the whole vibe. no cap. π«Ά

and that's the whole page, bestie, she's short but she's iconic. this one's dated 30 December 1995, living in the zplay(1) slot of the General Commands Manual, and we're obsessed with her for exactly as long as it takes to say "just use vm instead." π
