+README for the "pg" utility for Linux.
+
+The "pg" utility is the historic System V equivalent to BSD's "more". This
+is a free clone of it, and it is intended to conform to the SVID 4 as well
+as the SUSv2 specification of this command.
+
+Contrasting to the System V implementation, this one filters backspace
+formatting sequences while searching, so you can comfortably search in nroff
+output like manual pages.
+
+This code uses routines as defined by SUSv2, so a glibc version of 2.1 or
+higher is required on Linux. A curses implementation (like ncurses) must
+be present as well.
+
+If large files > 2GB are supported by the kernel and the C library, pg is
+able to handle them.
+
+Please send comments, bug-reports and especially bug-fixes to
+<g-r@bigfoot.de> .
