[comp.os.vms] "less" for VMS?

mkhaw@teknowledge-vaxc.ARPA (Mike Khaw) (11/19/87)

Is there a freeware program for VMS like "less" on Unix?
(For those unfamiliar with "less", it's like TYPE/PAGE, but also
allows backward scrolling, regular-expression searching, and other goodies)

   I wrote a less-like program in c for myself use. 
It has following options:
        t  ==>top of the file;
        f  ==>skip forward;
	b  ==>skip backward;
	h  ==>help;
	q  ==>quit;
	+  ==>print next line;
	/string ==>search for string.

   It's not shareware ,nor freeware. It's noware. If there is
enough interest, I'll post it to the net. The program is 
about 200 lines.
