Oops... Re: [lojban] [LONG] UNIX shell script for word lookup

[Robin Lee Powell <rlpowell@csclub.uwaterloo.ca>]

This:

>num=`cat $TEMP | wc -l`
>if [ $num -gt 10 ]
>then
>    less $TEMP
>else
>    cat $TEMP
>fi
>rm $TEMP

should look like this:

num=`cat $TEMP | wc -l`
eval `stty | grep rows | tr -d ' '`
if [ $num -gt `/usr/bin/expr $rows - 5` ]
then
    less $TEMP
else
    cat $TEMP
fi
rm $TEMP
rm $TEMP.2

- -----------------

BTW, less is just like more, except almost infinitely better, hence the
expression, "less is more than more".  If you don't have it, I very
strongly recommend you fix that.
