       _Z_m_o_r_e is a filter which allows examination  of  compressed
       or plain text files one screenful at a time on a soft-copy
       terminal.  _z_m_o_r_e works on files compressed with	_c_o_m_p_r_e_s_s_,
       _p_a_c_k  or	_g_z_i_p_, and also on uncompressed files.	If a file
       does not exist, _z_m_o_r_e looks for a file of  the  same  name
       with the addition of a .gz, .z or .Z suffix.

       _Z_m_o_r_e  normally	pauses	after  each  screenful,	printing
       --More-- at the bottom of the screen.  If  the  user  then
       types  a	carriage return, one more line is displayed.  If
       the user hits a space,  another	screenful  is  displayed.
       Other possibilities are enumerated later.

       _Z_m_o_r_e looks in the file _/_e_t_c_/_t_e_r_m_c_a_p to determine terminal
       characteristics, and to determine the default window size.
       On  a terminal capable of displaying 24 lines, the default
       window size is 22 lines.	To use a pager	other	than  the
       default	_m_o_r_e_,  set environment variable PAGER to the name
       of the desired program, such as _l_e_s_s_.

       Other sequences which may be typed when _z_m_o_r_e pauses,  and
       their  effects,	are  as follows (_i is an optional integer
       argument, defaulting to 1) :


       _i<space>
	      display _i more lines, (or another screenful  if  no
	      argument is given)


       ^D     display  11  more	lines	(a  ``scroll'').  If _i is
	      given, then the scroll size is set to _i.


       d      same as ^D (control-D)


       _iz     same as typing a space except that _i,  if	present,
	      becomes  the new window size.  Note that the window
	      size reverts back to the default at the end of  the
	      current file.

       _i/expr search  for  the	_i-th  occurrence  of  the regular
	      expression _e_x_p_r_.	If  the	pattern  is  not  found,
	      _z_m_o_r_e  goes  on  to the next file (if any).  Other-
	      wise, a screenful is displayed, starting two  lines
	      before  the  place  where the expression was found.
	      The user's erase and kill characters may be used to
	      edit the regular expression.  Erasing back past the
	      first column cancels the search command.


       _in     search for the _i-th occurrence of the last  regular
	      expression entered.


       !command
	      invoke  a shell with _c_o_m_m_a_n_d.  The character `!' in
	      "command" are replaced with the previous shell com-
	      mand.  The sequence "\!" is replaced by "!".


       :q or :Q
	      quit  reading  the  current file; go on to the next
	      (if any) (same as q or Q).


       .      (dot) repeat the previous command.

       The commands take effect immediately, i.e., it is not nec-
       essary to type a carriage return.  Up to the time when the
       command character itself is given, the user  may	hit  the
       line kill character to cancel the numerical argument being
       formed.	In addition, the user may hit the erase character
       to redisplay the --More-- message.

       At any time when output is being sent to the terminal, the

       user can hit the quit  key  (normally  control-\).   _Z_m_o_r_e
       will  stop  sending  output,  and  will	display the usual
       --More-- prompt.	The user may then enter one of the above
       commands in the normal manner.  Unfortunately, some output
       is lost when this is done, due to the fact that any  char-
       acters  waiting in the terminal's output queue are flushed
       when the quit signal occurs.

       The terminal is set to _n_o_e_c_h_o mode by this program so that
       the output can be continuous.  What you type will thus not
       show on your terminal, except for the / and !  commands.

       If the standard output is not a teletype, then _z_m_o_r_e  acts
       just  like  _z_c_a_t_,  except  that a header is printed before
       each file.
