NetBSD cromarty 1.4X NetBSD 1.4X (CROMARTY) #9: Wed May 3 23:49:51 BST 2000
bjh21@cromarty:/usr/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/CROMARTY macppc
>Description:
NetBSD's more(1) diverges from that specified by POSIX.2 in the following
ways:
more -n <number>, which should specify the screen size, isn't
supported. more -n in NetBSD apparently suppresses line numbers.
more -p <command>, which should be equivalent to more +<command>,
performs a search instead.
Within more(1), the "s" command should "skip forward <count> lines, with a
default of 1", whereas it currents saves the input to a file.
>How-To-Repeat:
cromarty:~$ TERM=dumb more -n 2 /dev/null
2: No such file or directory
/dev/null (press RETURN)
cromarty:~$ TERM=dumb more -p G /dev/null
Pattern not found (press RETURN)
Run "more /usr/dict/words", press "s", note "log file:" prompt.

FYI: i believe there is an older PR from JTC about more(1) and POSIX.

I can't seem to find it. Don't suppose you know the number, do you?
