Does someone out there have 'LESS' working on MSDOS, or is someone
working on it for DOS ? ? If so, please send me a note.
One of my clients who has SCO ver 2.1.3 (XT Version) has a
program named 'LESS' for the Xenix machine. It is GREAT and is
similiar to 'MORE' but is more powerful than 'MORE'. I also have
'LESS' working on the AT version of SCO 2.1.3, . . . (the shared file
is over 115,000 bytes of C programming.....
Many thanks to the 14 people who sent me answers on the "print the screen
from a batch file" program.
Thanks for any answers or comments. . Cliff Manis

(I know it was posted, say half a year ago, but unfortunately it never reached me.) If you have the executable program or the source code (in MicroSoft C, De Smet or Lattice-C) and send it to me on a 5.25" 360kB floppy disk together with one or two empty floppy disks, I shall be glad to return the extra floppies filled with nice (Public Domain) programs and utilities. You will find my postal address below.

I wouldpost it but Compuserve gets a little touchy about people distributing stuff from their system. --Tom

LIST does everything LESS does, and (1) doesn't have nearly as many bugs, (2) gives MUCH faster response, (3) uses the cursor keys to navigate the file. I have version 5.91 (1986). I remember a dangerously buggy version circa 1984, but the recent LIST is great.

I have LIST61, and find it highly useful... but... it has a modem control (Alt-E) to toggle from 25 to 43 line mode on EGA, and when it resets to 25 line mode it seems to actually set 24 line mode. I use it but always reset the comsole by "MODEM CO80" after running LIST. Obviously the older version didn't have the feature or the bug, and no, I haven't tried it on a real IBM EGA. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {chinet | philabs | sesimo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
