PAGER is based in -- concept on the UNPAGE tool submitted to the Ada Repository on -- SIMTEL20 by Mitre Corporation. -- -- Paged files are convenient mechanisms for storing related files. -- They reduce cluttering in the directories and simplify the file -- transfer process (to and from the Ada Repository, for example) by -- requiring the user to transfer only one file in order to obtain all -- files pertinent to a particular project or tool. Additionally, paged -- files are text files which can be handled more readily than the 8-bit -- binary images associated with other file grouping mechanisms. Paged -- files may be manipulated by a text editor if necessary. -- -* ------------------ Revision history --------------------------- -- -* -- DATE VERSION AUTHOR HISTORY -- 4/8/1985 1.4 Richard Conn Initial Release -- 5/6/1985 1.5 Richard Conn Numeric Error Trap Added -- 10/30/1985 1.6 Richard Conn LIST Command Added -- -* ------------------ Distribution and Copyright ----------------- -- -* -- This prologue must be included in all copies of this software. -- -- This software is copyright by the author. -- -- This software is released to the Ada community. -- This software is released to the Public Domain (note: -- software released to the Public Domain is not subject -- to copyright protection). -- Restrictions on use or distribution: NONE -- -* ------------------ Disclaimer --------------------------------- -- -* -- This software and its documentation are provided "AS IS" and -- without any expressed or implied warranties whatsoever. -- No warranties as to performance, merchantability, or fitness -- for a particular purpose exist. -- -- Because of the diversity of conditions and hardware under -- which this software may be used, no warranty of fitness for -- a particular purpose is offered.
