- -----LIST.COM-----
- by Ward Christensen
-
- OVERVIEW:
- Lists a file, with an optional starting line number.
- Doesn't quit until EOF or control-C. Prints an error message
- if too high a line number was specified.
-
- USAGE:
- LIST fn.ft To list the file
- LIST fn.ft nnnn To start at line nnnn
-
- LIST.COM does not abort when any key is pressed, as
- does TYPE. This was done to make it usable over phone lines
- where when using TYPE an unexpected glitch could stop a listing
- and you would have to start all over again. LIST.COM itself
- checks for control-C (to cancel) and control-S (to suspend
- output).
-
- DEPENDENCIES:
- NONE
