Hello -- I just brought 386/IX (i.e. AT&T's V.3 for 386 AT's), and, though it does demand paging, it doesn't even come with a MORE! Can anyone out there help me out?? Thanks much in advance...

You can invoke the "pg" that should be supplied with your SVR3 in such a way that it operates very nearly like BSD "more".

As quoted from <173@titn.TITN> by jordan@titn.TITN (Jordan Bortz): +--------------- | Hello -- I just brought 386/IX (i.e. AT&T's V.3 for 386 AT's), and, | though it does demand paging, it doesn't even come with a MORE! +--------------- "more" is Berzerkeloid, as a result AT&T ignores it until they can find a way to make it look like their idea (ksh vs. csh), or until people scream too much (vi) (1/2 ;-}). In this case, the former. more() { pg -n -s -p'-- More(%d) --' $* } I actually prefer pg, since it allows positioning to arbitrary "pages", either absolute or relative, and caches pipes in temp files so you can jump to the end of a pipe ($) and then back up to the beginning (1). In case you're interested: -n means no newline after single-character commands, -s means reverse video prompt, -p sets the prompt, and %d in the prompt string (optional) displays the current page number. Unlike the Xenix 2.x version of more, it doesn't convert overstrikes to standout or underline on the terminal; I really liked that "more". (It may have been Model 16 only; certainly Xenix 3.0 on the Tandy 6000 doesn't have it, nor does Altos. Oh, well....) -- [Copyright 1987 Brandon S.

In my previous posting of more there exists (at least) one bug that causes
rather odd behaviour when the -s switch is used.
The fix is lines 68 & 69 (or thereabouts) in an if statement that is testing
for the -s switch. They currently read:
n++;
a--;
and SHOULD read:
n--;
a++;

You can also use the following alias to define more as pg with morelike behaviour: $ alias more="pg -p 'page #%d :' -ens" -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The company and all my associates and friends and ESPECIALLY the government put me up to say all this useless trash.
