I recently had the experience of using "pg" on a Unicos system, and 
was summarily unipressed.  You call this a pager?  I can't help but
wonder whether Cray's version isn't what is normally run on System V.
It seems so primitive.  Even more is vastly superior to the pg I used,
and less just blows it out of the water!
