I want my PAGER to be Jim Davis's most(1). Does a LOT more than more or less. (Does have the annoying te/ti thing, though.) Displays binary. Auto-decompresses compressed files. Allows moving my line or percentage. Whole raft of neat stuff. Usually the second port (after portmaster) I install on a system since my finger type "most" even when I want them to type "more" because the system does not have most installed. I don't expect anyone else to agree and don't expect it to ever be in the base, let alone the default. Still, it's a much better pager then less, whether it's called more or not. Started using it at least 25 years ago on VMS. -- Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
