- ----------------:
- --
- -- Abstract : PAGER is a tool which creates, extracts from,
- -- and scans paged files, where a paged file is a file composed
- -- of one or more files prefixed by banners. PAGER is based in
- -- concept on the UNPAGE tool submitted to the Ada Repository on
- -- SIMTEL20 by Mitre Corporation.
- --
- -- Paged files are convenient mechanisms for storing related files.
- -- They reduce cluttering in the directories and simplify the file
- -- transfer process (to and from the Ada Repository, for example) by
- -- requiring the user to transfer only one file in order to obtain all
- -- files pertinent to a particular project or tool. Additionally, paged
- -- files are text files which can be handled more readily than the 8-bit
- -- binary images associated with other file grouping mechanisms. Paged
- -- files may be manipulated by a text editor if necessary.
