Unless, of course, you set PAGER to /usr/athena/bin/more, in
which case, you lose.
While I'll agree that /usr/athena/bin/more probably never
should have existed, nor other programs like /usr/athena/bin/twm, we
are faced with the unfortunate problem that dotfiles depend on these
and other Athenaisms. While I can understand changing this in
tfaceede SIPB distribution, I am not sure it is a particularly good
policy for a public dialup.
