Most (Unix)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
most is a program on Unix, OpenVMS, MS-DOS, Windows[3] and Unix-like systems used to view (but not change) the contents of a text file one screen at a time. Programs of this sort are called pagers.[4] It is similar to more, but has the extended capability of allowing both forward and backward navigation through the file, and can scroll left and right. most also supports multiple windows.[3]
