Description-en: Pager program similar to more and less
Most is a paging program that displays, one windowful at a time, the
contents of a file on a terminal. A status line at the bottom of the
screen displays the file name, the current line number and the percentage
of the file so far displayed.
.
Unlike other paging programs, most is capable of displaying an
arbitrary number of windows as long as they all fit on the screen, and
different windows could be used to view the same file in different
positions.
.
In addition to displaying ordinary text files, most can also display
binary files as well as files with arbitrary ascii characters.
