Another possibility would be to fix more so that it can scroll backwards. This shouldn't take more than 20 lines of code (copy stdin to a temporary file if it's not seekable), and would work on smaller systems. [There are a couple optimizations that could be made, but I'd hate to see them get in the way.] -- Raul
