Lines: 29 Does anyone know or have the source codes (or .EXE) for a utility for VMS that works similar to the LESS utility on Unix systems? I seem to recall one was mentioned (posted?) sometime ago but I cann't seem to find it. For those who is not familiar with LESS, it is a replacement program for the more commonly used "more" utility. It will display a file screen at a time, allows searches for characters (backwards or forward), scolls thru files screen at a time (backwards or forward), "spawn" into editor, etc. MUCH more than $TYPE/PAGE. Of course one can also emulate this using EDT but... Much thanks in advance.
