   Fred Fish disk ReadMe files almost always have ":muchmore" or
":c/muchmore" as their default tools.  The MuchMore program is either in the
root directory or the C directory of the Fish disk.  You can copy it from the
floppy to your C: or sys:Utilities directory, or change the default file 
to whatever text reader you use.
