More is also a psychadelic 1969 movie directed by Barbet Schroeder. It's about a German guy and an American chick in Ibiza who get hooked on heroin, play with mercury and stare at the sun. Damn fine psychedelia. The film's soundtrack was performed by The Pink Floyd. Their theme song to this movie is nice



More is also a DOS program that displays output one screen at a time. Here's the syntax:
MORE <drive:><path>filename
MORE < <drive:><path>filename
command-name | MORE <drive:><path><filename>

  <drive:><path>filename  Specifies file(s) to display one screen at a time
  command-name            Specifies a command whose output will be displayed.


More is also an RJ Reynolds brand of cigarette.



Gimme some more.

more is the standard file pager on UN*X systems. It is named for the default message it prints:

--More--(87%)
(usually in reverse video).

more is (a lot!) nicer than pg, but probably less satisfying than less.

Featured on Sci-Fi's channel show of short, independent films Exposure, More instantly became a number one hit with the audience. Here is a short synopsis directly from Exposure:

"Academy Award-nominee for Best Animated Short, More tells the story of a lowly factory worker who dreams of being a world-famous inventor. He toils endlessly on an enormous assembly-line until, one day, he invents a fabulous new product, and achieves ultimate success. Only, his success threatens the very child-like passion that got him there. Stop motion animation of an armature based puppet coupled with color transparency art and in-camera optical effects. Musical score by New Order."

Written and directed by Mark Osborne and produced by Stevel Kalafer, it is one of the best short films I have ever watched. Elegia by New Order provides a perfect soundtrack that enhances the on-screen animation and touches your soul.

MORE(1)                     System Reference Manual                    MORE(1)

NAME
     more - file perusal filter for crt viewing

SYNOPSIS
     more [-dlfpcsu] [-num] [+/ pattern] [+ linenum] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     More is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time.  This
     version is especially primitve.  Users should realize that less(1) pro-
     vides more(1) emulation and extensive enhancements.

OPTIONS
     Command line options are described below.  Options are also taken from
     the environment variable MORE (make sure to precede them with a dash
     (``-'')) but command line options will override them.

     -num  This option specifies an integer which is the screen size (in
           lines).

     -d    more will prompt the user with the message "[Press space to contin-
           ue, 'q' to quit.]" and will display "[Press 'h' for instructions.]"
           instead of ringing the bell when an illegal key is pressed.

     -l    more usually treats ^L (form feed) as a special character, and will
           pause after any line that contains a form feed.  The -l option will
           prevent this behavior.

     -f    Causes more to count logical, rather than screen lines (i.e., long
           lines are not folded).

     -p    Do not scroll.  Instead, clear the whole screen and then display
           the text.

     -c    Do not scroll.  Instead, paint each screen from the top, clearing
           the remainder of each line as it is displayed.

     -s    Squeeze multiple blank lines into one.

     -u    Suppress underlining.

     +/    The +/ option specifies a string that will be searched for before
           each file is displayed.

     +num  Start at line number num.

COMMANDS
     Interactive commands for more are based on vi(1).  Some commands may be
     preceded by a decimal number, called k in the descriptions below.  In the
     following descriptions, ^X means control-X.

     h or ?      Help: display a summary of these commands.  If you forget all
                 the other commands, remember this one.

     SPACE       Display next k lines of text.  Defaults to current screen
                 size.

     z           Display next k lines of text.  Defaults to current screen
                 size.  Argument becomes new default.

     RETURN      Display next k lines of text.  Defaults to 1.  Argument be-

                 comes new default.

     d or ^D     Scroll k lines.  Default is current scroll size, initially
                 11.  Argument becomes new default.

     q or Q or INTERRUPT
                 Exit.

     s           Skip forward k lines of text.  Defaults to 1.

     f           Skip forward k screenfuls of text.  Defaults to 1.

     b or ^B     Skip backwards k screenfuls of text.  Defaults to 1.

     '           Go to place where previous search started.

     =           Display current line number.

     /pattern    Search for kth occurrence of regular expression.  Defaults to
                 1.

     n           Search for kth occurrence of last r.e.  Defaults to 1.

     ! or :!
                 Execute  in a subshell

     v           Start up /usr/bin/vi at current line

     ^L          Redraw screen

     :n          Go to kth next file.  Defaults to 1.

     :p          Go to kth previous file.  Defaults to 1.

     :f          Display current file name and line number

     .           Repeat previous command

ENVIRONMENT
     More utilizes the following environment variables, if they exist:

     MORE        This variable may be set with favored options to more.

     SHELL       Current shell in use (normally set by the shell at login
                 time).

     TERM        Specifies terminal type, used by more to get the terminal
                 characteristics necessary to manipulate the screen.

SEE ALSO
     vi(1) less(1)

HISTORY
     The more command appeared in 3.0BSD. This man page documents more version
     5.19 (Berkeley 6/29/88), which is currently in use in the Linux communi-
     ty.  Documentation was produced using several other versions of the man
     page, and extensive inspection of the source code.

More
Pink Floyd, 1969
(45:01)

David Gilmour: guitars, vocals
Nick Mason: drums
Roger Waters: bass, vocals
Rick Wright: keyboards, vocals

More is Pink Floyd's third album, released July 27, 1969, and is the score for a film of the same name by Barbet Schroeder (produced by Jet Films). It was recorded in only a week at Abbey Road Studios (London) in March 1969, in the middle of working on Ummagumma. It has a wide range of sound (from unconventional electronica, in "Quicksilver", to blues, in "More Blues", to heavy metal, in "The Nile Song") but manages to remain a relatively laid-back album. "Cymbaline" and "Green is the Colour", two popular live songs, come from this album.

The album fits well in Floyd's discography: it appears between A Saucerful of Secrets (still very reminiscient of Barrett, but indicative of the band's growth) and Atom Heart Mother (Floyd's post-Barrett psychedelia shines, and the opposing forces of Waters and Gilmour begin to surface). (I leave out Ummagumma because More's production overlaps Ummagumma's, so the feel of the two albums are very similar.) That said, it's not a good album for anyone new to Floyd's works, unless you're doing things chronologically.

This was a weird time for Floyd: the relatively recent loss of Barrett shook things up quite a bit, and in this release you can begin to see the shape the band would eventually take. Waters shows the talent for songwriting he would later make evident with Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, although this is definitely before his unignorable disgust with the music industry prevalent in the latter and Wish You Were Here. The album has a couple well-done tracks written by the whole group, such as "Ibiza Bar" and "Main Theme", but other tracks show that the band lacks direction without a definite leader.

More is either loved or hated by Floyd fans. Many fans who listen to the late-1970s Floyd work think this album is horrible, lacking the developed talent of Waters by that time; those who started listening to the band in the late 1960s and like Barrett's work enjoy this album because it is different from Piper and Saucerful but seems to tie into later more abstract albums like Meddle and Obscured By Clouds. Others feel that the album as a whole lacks the completenes that is common knowledge with other Floyd albums, like The Wall, Dark Side and even Piper, but appreciate of a few

The album cover (designed by Hipgnosis) is a creepy-looking landscape of deep blue and orange-yellow, with two people in the foreground waving to another person standing near a windmill in the background. The Japanese remastered reissue of the album has a darker cover than the previous releases.

Tracklisting:

  1. "Cirrus Minor", written by Waters, vocals by Gilmour (5:09)
  2. "The Nile Song", written by Waters, vocals by Gilmour (3:22)
  3. "Crying Song", written by Waters, vocals by Gilmour/Wright (3:31)
  4. "Up the Khyber", written by Mason/Wright, instrumental (2:10)
        (titled "Up The Khyber (Juke Box)" on Capitol's LP pressing)
  5. "Green is the Colour", written by Waters, vocals by Gilmour (2:55)
  6. "Cymbaline", written by Waters, vocals by Gilmour (4:46)
  7. "Party Sequence", written by Waters/Wright/Gilmour/Mason, instrumental (1:07)
  8. "Main Theme", written by Waters/Wright/Gilmour, instrumental (5:28)
  9. "Ibiza Bar", written by Waters/Wright/Gilmour/Mason, vocals by Gilmour (3:13)
  10. "More Blues", written by Waters/Wright/Gilmour/Mason, instrumental (2:12)
  11. "Quicksilver", written by Waters/Wright/Gilmour/Mason, instrumental (7:07)
        (titled "Quicksilver (Water-Pipe)" on Capitol's LP pressing)
  12. "A Spanish Piece", written by Gilmour, vocals by Gilmour (1:02)
  13. "Dramatic Theme", written by Waters/Wright, instrumental (2:16)

In the spirit of the Dark Side of the Rainbow, More synchs up with The Ten Commandments. See Pink Floyd Synchronization phenomena for details.
