I am looking for a file viewer, but I desire some features I haven't been able to find: -- Ability to load files larger than memory, up to about 2 megabyte -- Ability to exit a file and return to the same place in it later -- Ability to paste characters from screen into buffer as program exits (Hmm, TSR might be nice too, to decrease disk access since it could keep the file open. This might be necessary, too, for the keyboard stuffing bit..) My desire is to be able to browse files such as the listings of SIMTEL and Garbo while in an interactive FTP session. Currently, I have a key in my terminal set to execute list on a certain file. This works okay, except that if I return briefly to the terminal to do a command in FTP, I have to find the spot I need to return to. This is an annoyance. If there's a way to accomplish this with list, I would be overjoyed to hear about it.. Otherwise, I would like pointers to a file somewhere in the world of FTP.. Mail is preferred, I'll summarize the responses I get. -- Jeff Epler jepler@nyx.cs.du.edu or bx304@cleveland.freenet.edu (preferred) ____ "Nuke the unborn gay whales" -- Never seen on a protest sign \bi/ You may use this signature freely, except that you are expressly \/ prohibited from disassembling or reverse-enginerring it.
