- Recent postings inquired about a UNIX more. Well, if you're just annoyed
- that the OS2 more requires redirected input, i.e., you can't type just
- "more file", then there's a simple front end to OS2 more command you can
- use to allow the above syntax. Place the following in a file more.cmd
- somewhere in your path and rename OS2 more as shown:
-
- @echo off
- REM Rename \os2\more.com to \os2\_more.com
- if A%1==A goto redir
- _more <%1
- goto end
- :redir
- _more
- :end
-
- This will allow both direct and redirected input. Of course, it's not
- UNIX more but it does remove the little irritation.
