I've implemented the -d option in the NetBSD /usr/bin/more and checked
it into the NetBSD source tree. I've updated /usr/bin/more on
granola, limekiller, and frobnitz and in the system packs, and I'm
regenerating the tarfiles to install on the server as we speak (this
will also get jtkohl's AFS changes and the /bin/athena/login and
telnetd changes I've made).
I've nuked /usr/athena/bin/more, and its source tree, as a result of
this change. I also removed /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc's definition
of ATHENA_MORE. I left cshrc's definition of MORE as "-cs", since not
everyone will update their "more".
User-visible changes:
* Since /usr/athena/bin/more no longer exists, people will get
the system more, and they won't get the "-d" option by
default.
* People who set MORE to "-csd" in their dotfiles (because
they copied it from the Athena dotfiles) will lose when they
try to use more if they haven't updated it on their system.
(They were already losing when system programs would invoke
/usr/bin/more.) Such users should upgrade /usr/bin/more
from the system packs, so they can stop losing altogether.
I plan to announce this change on netbsd-announce tomorrow (after
everything has propagated), and maybe we can add -d back into
$initdir/cshrc's MORE setting some time in the future.
