Does Cygwin Bash Shell have "more" equivalent

Does Cygwin Bash Shell have "more" equivalent

[Simpson Gilbert]

Does the Cygwin Bash Shell have the equivalent of the "more" command. The 
book I'm using to try and learn about Linux uses this command a lot and 
Cygwin reports that the command doesn't exist.

Perhaps there is a different, equivalent command.

Thanks.
Sim Gilbert

[Stephano Mariani]

The command you are looking for is 'less'.
It is equivalent to more but less can also scroll backwards...

     Is there anywhere to get the source for more?  I would like to add it
as less does not handle ansi colors at all, so ls --colors | less shows a
lot of ESC codes instead of colors, whereas more will show the colors.

File not found. Should I fake it? (Y/N)

If you have access to a FreeBSD system it is located in the following

Collin:    have no answer.

Stephano:  UNIX more can scroll backwards... at least on OSF1 4.0f Alpha
           server.

Sim:       alias the more command:   alias more less
           Then you can use more

Re: Does Cygwin Bash Shell have "more" equivalent

[Collin Grady]

     Is there anywhere to get the source for more?  I would like to add it
as less does not handle ansi colors at all, so ls --colors | less shows a
lot of ESC codes instead of colors, whereas more will show the colors.

Re: Does Cygwin Bash Shell have "more" equivalent

[Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc)]

It's also worth noting that this is exactly the kind of question that can
be found in the FAQ.

Where can I find "more"?
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC51

The FAQ is a great source of information and best of all, it provides 
instant gratification!  No waiting for that return email message with
the answer! :-)

Re: Does Cygwin Bash Shell have "more" equivalent

[Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc)]

It's also worth noting that this is exactly the kind of question that can
be found in the FAQ.

Where can I find "more"?

The FAQ is a great source of information and best of all, it provides 
instant gratification!  No waiting for that return email message with

Re: Does Cygwin Bash Shell have "more" equivalent

[Stephano Mariani]

The command you are looking for is 'less'.
It is equivalent to more but less can also scroll backwards...

Yes, it's name is (sarcastically) "less".
It's an external program though.

'more' is not distributed with cygwin. Try the command 'less' which does a
similar thing but is actually more powerful.

Does Cygwin Bash Shell have "more" equivalent

[Simpson Gilbert]

Does the Cygwin Bash Shell have the equivalent of the "more" command. The 
book I'm using to try and learn about Linux uses this command a lot and 
Cygwin reports that the command doesn't exist.

Perhaps there is a different, equivalent command.

Thanks.
Sim Gilbert
