INTRODUCTION
------------

This is a very simple program, the goal is to make a graphic substitute for the
popular utility 'more'. It uses GTK+ (The Gimp ToolKit).

Gmas was written and it is maintained by Roberto Machorro (rmach@bigfoot.com),
you can find more info and the latest release at:

	http://www.bigfoot.com/~rmach/gmas/

Oh! By the way 'mas' is the Spanish translation for 'more'.
And the g in mas is for GTK+. ;)

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'. That said, you can view a file by typing:

	gmas FILENAME &
	gmas *.h &

(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 | gmas &
	gzip -dc gnome.tar.gz | tar tf - | gmas &

KNOWN BUGS
----------

It's slower than 'more' (hey, what did you expect from a GUI app?).

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.
