LIST File Listing Utility

=========================

 LIST is a utility for displaying selected portions of files.
It is possible to display lines from a file
in several modes, including a screen at a time, as well as
to search for character strings and
write out portions of files to disk.
In addition, LIST can use SRD to select multiple files,
making it easy to do such chores as looking through
a group of files for a particular string.
 LIST is very fast, as it uses a macro interface to FCS to
read and write files; in addition it buffers the disk
address of every 100 lines to simulate
random access on the file.
 This version of LIST includes
the capabilities to subtask SRD and subtask itself to list a help file.
The help file is included (LIST.HLP) and should be placed on
LB:[1,2].
The routine which gets file names from SRD is called FNDFIL.FTN;
if for some reason SRD doesn't work with LIST (if your SRD has a different
output file format from our SRD, for instance) then modify this file.
If you would rather use PIP than SRD,
there is a file called PIPFIL.RAT (and also PIPFIL.FTN) which
contains the FNDFIL subroutine, but for PIP.
 LIST is written almost entirely in Ratfiv; the .FTN files are included,
however the Ratfiv compiler is also included on this tape, and should
be very simple to build. (See README.1ST on the Ratfiv compiler directory.)
