It's not available in my Cygwin. The "less" command is provided, on the other hand. Maybe the makers of Cygwin think that "more" is just redundant.
I'm curious about that.
Cygwin is a collection of open source tools that allows Unix or Linux applications to be compiled and run on a Microsoft Windows operating system (OS) from within a Linux-like interface. Cygwin offers users a Linux-like experience in a Windows environment.
Cygwin provides native integration of Windows-based applications. Thus it is possible to launch Windows applications from the Cygwin environment, as well as to use Cygwin tools and applications within the Windows operating context.
The Cygwin installation creates a Bash shell along with a UNIX environment by which you can compile and run UNIX-like programs. Using this one can even create an emulated X server on your windows box and run UNIX-like GUI software tools.
Install the util-linux package and you will have "more"
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=util-linux%2Futil-linux-2.17.2-1
it does - type which more
and you'll get something like this:
/usr/bin/more
If the more command is not available, you could define a symlink to /usr/bin/less
, or define an alias. I have Cygwin v1.7.9 installed with literally everything included, it's possible that you have an older version partially installed that doesn't supply more. You can find out what version, you're using like so:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 ws-02615 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin
