Greetings all,
This is my first posting (although I have been lurking for a while).
I am going to fix the following problems with more(1) as my entry dues for
asking questions 8-)
1) The h)elp command displays help, but does not wait before redrawing the
screen (unless you use the -e option).
2) The -# option does not work (it is documented by man in the synopsis,
but not in the body - it is in the usage message).
The code has the comment:
/*
* kludge: more was originally designed to take
* a number after a dash.
*/
this leads me to believe that this option is out-of-date (also it does not
follow the standard). My question is: should I fix the -# option or remove
it (my vote is to remove it - see below).
3) Use the LINES= environment variable (ala vi(1)) to set the screen height
(the Win95 telnet allows you to resize the screen, but I had to 'tic -I'
and reset TERM= for any alterations in screen size (yuck!)).
I checked the PR database and found no similar comments (I will generate a
PR when I have the time to do the fix).
Any comments...
Max
