- _Z_m_o_r_e is a filter which allows examination of compressed
- or plain text files one screenful at a time on a soft-copy
- terminal. _z_m_o_r_e works on files compressed with _c_o_m_p_r_e_s_s_,
- _p_a_c_k or _g_z_i_p_, and also on uncompressed files. If a file
- does not exist, _z_m_o_r_e looks for a file of the same name
- with the addition of a .gz, .z or .Z suffix.
-
- _Z_m_o_r_e normally pauses after each screenful, printing
- --More-- at the bottom of the screen. If the user then
- types a carriage return, one more line is displayed. If
- the user hits a space, another screenful is displayed.
- Other possibilities are enumerated later.
-
- _Z_m_o_r_e looks in the file _/_e_t_c_/_t_e_r_m_c_a_p to determine terminal
- characteristics, and to determine the default window size.
- On a terminal capable of displaying 24 lines, the default
- window size is 22 lines. To use a pager other than the
- default _m_o_r_e_, set environment variable PAGER to the name
- of the desired program, such as _l_e_s_s_.
-
- Other sequences which may be typed when _z_m_o_r_e pauses, and
- their effects, are as follows (_i is an optional integer
- argument, defaulting to 1) :
-
-
- _i<space>
- display _i more lines, (or another screenful if no
- argument is given)
-
-
- ^D display 11 more lines (a ``scroll''). If _i is
- given, then the scroll size is set to _i.
-
-
- d same as ^D (control-D)
-
-
- _iz same as typing a space except that _i, if present,
- becomes the new window size. Note that the window
- size reverts back to the default at the end of the
- current file.

-
- _i/expr search for the _i-th occurrence of the regular
- expression _e_x_p_r_. If the pattern is not found,
- _z_m_o_r_e goes on to the next file (if any). Other-
- wise, a screenful is displayed, starting two lines
- before the place where the expression was found.
- The user's erase and kill characters may be used to
- edit the regular expression. Erasing back past the
- first column cancels the search command.
-
-
- _in search for the _i-th occurrence of the last regular
- expression entered.
-
-
- !command
- invoke a shell with _c_o_m_m_a_n_d. The character `!' in
- "command" are replaced with the previous shell com-
- mand. The sequence "\!" is replaced by "!".
-
-
- :q or :Q
- quit reading the current file; go on to the next
- (if any) (same as q or Q).
-
-
- . (dot) repeat the previous command.
-
- The commands take effect immediately, i.e., it is not nec-
- essary to type a carriage return. Up to the time when the
- command character itself is given, the user may hit the
- line kill character to cancel the numerical argument being
- formed. In addition, the user may hit the erase character
- to redisplay the --More-- message.
-
- At any time when output is being sent to the terminal, the

- user can hit the quit key (normally control-\). _Z_m_o_r_e
- will stop sending output, and will display the usual
- --More-- prompt. The user may then enter one of the above
- commands in the normal manner. Unfortunately, some output
- is lost when this is done, due to the fact that any char-
- acters waiting in the terminal's output queue are flushed
- when the quit signal occurs.
-
- The terminal is set to _n_o_e_c_h_o mode by this program so that
- the output can be continuous. What you type will thus not
- show on your terminal, except for the / and ! commands.
-
- If the standard output is not a teletype, then _z_m_o_r_e acts
- just like _z_c_a_t_, except that a header is printed before
- each file.
