A renowned Shareware utilities programmer, primarily of the DOS era. Guess you weren't paying
much attention to such things back then. He also sysop'd VOR (the Voice of Reason) BBS.

If anyone needs LIST2, I have a copy somewhere, though I greatly doubt it is any later ver. than the one
on Hobbes.

Does it absolutiely have to be Command Line ? I really like the File Viewer / Searcher built into ZTree.
It can call the editor of your choice for making changes, or use the integral Hex Editor, if necessary.
Repetitious searching while scrolling through a file: Yes. The only useful thing I can think of that it lacks
is the ability to do Boolean searches (AND | OR | NOT | proximity type searches) . . . but my word processor
covers that.
