- --= ABSTRACT ===============================================--
- -- PAGER2 is a tool which creates, extracts from, lists, and
- -- scans paged files, where a paged file is a file composed of one or
- -- more files prefixed by banners. PAGER2 is based in concept on the
- -- UNPAGE tool submitted to the Ada Repository on SIMTEL20 by Mitre
- -- Corporation. PAGER is an early implementation of the concept, written
- -- in Ada; PAGER2 is a more current implementation of the concept,
- -- written in Ada and C.
- --
- -- Paged files are convenient mechanisms for storing related
- -- files. They reduce cluttering in the directories and simplify the
- -- file transfer process (to and from the Ada Repository, for example) by
- -- requiring the user to transfer only one file in order to obtain all
- -- files pertinent to a particular project or tool. Additionally, paged
- -- files are text files which can be handled more readily than the 8-bit
- -- binary images associated with other file grouping mechanisms. Paged
- -- files may be manipulated by a text editor if necessary.
