+most is a pager (like less) that displays, one windowful at a time,
+the contents of a file on a terminal. It pauses after each windowful
+and prints the following on the window status line: the screen, the
+file name, current line number, and the percentage of the file so far
+displayed.
+
+In addition to displaying ordinary text files, most can also display
+binary files as well as files with arbitrary ascii characters. As an
+option, autosensing of binary files can be disabled (via the -k
+option), thereby allowing one to browse files encoded in a different
+language (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc).
