Most is a pager with all the important features of more/less plus
the following:
1. Multiple windows
2. Window locking (scroll more than one window simultaneously)
3. Horizontal scrolling on arbitrarily long lines (can wrap too)
4. The cursor moves to the match of a search. It does not simply move
the line to the top of the screen.
5. PgUp/PgDn and arrow keys work.
6. Can scroll back on a pipe (less also does this, more does not)
7. View Binary files in HEX mode.
8. If you start up most as in `most *', you can do `:n' and use Arrow
keys to select among files in the list.
9. View a file using selective display like emacs. That is, suppose you
have a series C functions:
int some_function(int x) {
if (x > 0) {
/* what ever */
}
}
main () {
/* more whatever */
}
then MOST can ``fold'' the code hiding lines that are indented beyond
a certain user specified column as in:
int some_function(int x) {...
}
main () {...
}
or
int some_function(int x) {
if (x > 0) {...
}
}
main () {...
}
9. Executable is as small as less (actually smaller on my machine, both
less and most are stripped).
MOST has been used quite a bit on VMS systems and is the paging program used
in CSwing as well as the VMS Gopher client. It was developed under Unix.
