Description: a more/less paging type program
 Most is a paging program that displays, one windowful at a time, the
 contents of a file on a terminal. It pauses after each windowful and
 prints on the window status line of the screen the file name, current
 line number, and the percentage of the file so far displayed.
 .
 Unlike other paging programs, most is capable of displaying an
 arbitrary number of windows as long as each window occupies at least
 two screen lines. Each window may contain the same file or a different
 file. In addition, each window has its own mode.
 .
 In addition to displaying ordinary text files, most can also display
 binary files as well as files with arbitrary ascii characters.
