      I use bat sometimes, but how do you stop it from wrapping lines?

    Isn’t more like the main driver for our prospering civilization?

    Some might say that the shift in desiring less is the downward path for the over-saturated humanity.

    But lets not get too deep here.

    I don’t know why anyone would use more when less is more with more features.

    I’m not sure if I’ve used more in the last 25 years. And when I did I think it was in MS-DOS.

    less or bat, but I usually use by paging up and down so it’s not that different from more… My terminal emulator only pages up and down, I like it that way.

      Yes, back in days of yore when the cyberbunnies had to run their lines through the bare wastes of the great Dave’s router, there existed a tool so coveted by the eunuchs that they named it twice, and would beg for degrees of release depending on how gimped up they were. “More” some would scream, “less” others would whisper.

      Those are two pager programs on Linux. less has more features than more and that’s what most people use.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
