README FILE FOR MAS -- Please also read the LICENSE file!!! CURRENT VERSION 1.0 INTRODUCTION ------------ This is a very simple program, the goal is to make a graphic substitute for the popular utility 'more'. It uses X/Motif API (Don't have Motif? Use Lesstif! Get it at http://www.lesstif.org/ now!). MAS was written and it is maintained by Roberto Machorro (rmach@bigfoot.com), you can find more info and the latest release at: http://fciencias.ens.uabc.mx/~rmach/mas/ Oh! By the way 'mas' is the Spanish translation for 'more'. LET'S GET BUSY -------------- Please refer to the file INSTALL for compiling and installing instructions. Done installing, now how do you run this thing? It's as simple as running 'more'. This said, you can view a file by typing: mas FILENAME & (The ampersand lets you run the program in background from the shell, letting you work on other things while the window is on the display, so it's optional) Or you can also pipe in to the program: ls -al | mas & gzip -dc mas.tar.gz | tar tf - | mas & KNOWN BUGS ---------- (Not really a bug) It only loads one file at a time. It's slower than 'more' (hey, what did you expect?). BUGS? ----- Send them to me, if you have a patch, even better. Suggestions are also cool. Oh! printing is beyond the goals of the program, so don't ask. -- Roberto Machorro rmach@bigfoot.com
