You can do two things 1) rename 'more.com' to 'more.exe' (this works because more.com is actually PE format) 2) use the complete filename of 'more.com', for example tar tvvfz //i/tmp/win32/b17.1/cdksrc.tgz|more.com I tried both and it didn't work. Richard Donkin (from this mailing list) suggested me to use 'less'. This is the best solution so far. He wrote: Anyway, I suggest you get 'less', which is much more capable than the brain-dead Win95 'more', which cannot even page backwards or search - there is a direct Win32 port if you want to get something quickly (search for less321w.zip), or you can get the less 330 source and compile it for Gnu-Win32.
