The change in behaviour is, I think, caused by https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/commit/df6b29d3b I could not find the original upstream discussion about this change. Maybe it has some more info on why this was changed; the commit only says "POSIX compliance". From a quick look at the current spec, I think this is correct. > Would it be possible to get back the original behaviour of /bin/more, please? I have no intention of deviating from upstream. Maybe you can talk to upstream directly. Karel is usually quite approachable, especially if you have code. See https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/blob/master/README for contact info. Chris
