A simple, console text file viewer and pager for large text files.

m text viewer

The m program is a simple text mode, text file viewer, developed for my own use, so don't expect too much.

The m viewer is designated specifically for viewing large text files or input streams, as viewed file is not fully loaded into memory, but are stored in a temporary file instead and read into memory in blocks as needed, not exceeding of specified total occupied memory size.

The maximum size of occupied memory and the block size can be specified by -total and -block parameters respectively.

Note: The viewer is designated to be used in Unix and/or Mac OS terminals but should also work in Windows command prompt environment.
