- Hi !
-
- This is another more. It has features like:
- - takes arguments directly following the command
- - multiple argument support
- - WILDCARD support * ?
- - works through pipes |
- - input redirection possible <
- - much faster than os/2's own more
- - supports different window sizes
- - will NOT SPOIL your COLORS (like some other mores will do)
- - output redirection > is not working very well, type recommended instead
-
- Examples:
- more readme more.c
- more r*m??
- more *c
- type readme | more
- more < readme
-
- If you necessarily want to view very large files with more, it will take
- a couple of seconds for more to display the first screen. This time is
- taken because the program first counts the # of lines in the text file (this
- has the side effect that the text file gets read to your disk cache, hopefully
- it will remain there long enough). In this case you can start more quickly by
- using input redirection:
- 'more < filename' but you'll lose the %-info.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Put more.exe to a directory in your path + rename of remove your old more.
-
- KEYS
-
- After each page is displayed, more pauses waiting for a key to be pressed.
- Three keys have special meanings:
- - 'q' will quit right there
- - ENTER will show you four lines more
- - 'v' will display version info on the bottom line of the screen
- - any other key will show you a new page.

- BUGS
-
- If the last line of a page has tab-characters and thus the line gets
- expanded over the width of your screen to the next line, the top line
- of the page will be scrolled away.
-
- This could be (kind of) fixed by repeating the last line on top of the new
- page (well the fix wouldn't be perfect, suppose you have 40 tabs and then
- some text :-). Not fixed in this release anyway.
-
- AUTHORS COMMENT
-
- Stephen Lacy has written a more that is extremely fast. When it reaches
- the level of doing colors ok, I - too - will probably use it instead.
