[Courses] C Programming For Absolute Beginners, Lesson 1: Setting Up, First Program

[Kevin Cole]

About hexdump... If you're (a) looking for a better pager than "less", (b)
a better hex dump than "hexdump" or (c) compiling a small boatload of C,
check out "most".

It's available in the Ubuntu universe repositories, Dag Wieers RPM
repositories, or as source code from the author: Jon Davis' source
repository

ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/most/

I've used it for years on DECsystem-10s, VAXen, PC's and Macs. Once you get
your hands on it, try:

$ most welcome

Type "h" for a list of commands while running. In this case ":ob" and ":ov"
toggles provide potentially useful results.  I haven't compiled it in quite
some time, but I believe it was the usual *nix idiom:

$ ./configure
$ make all
$ make install
