Ouch!  Seriously, though -- even lowly Linux exhibits similar behavior
with the "ls" command.  (It's not the "more" command that modifies the
stream; the ls command, rather, modifies it when it sees it's being
piped).  For example:

[root@kend-linux tomsrtbt-2.0.103]# ls
buildit.s  fdflush   install.s     settings.s    tomsrtbt.raw
clone.s    fdformat  license.html  tomsrtbt.FAQ  unpack.s

[root@kend-linux tomsrtbt-2.0.103]# ls | cat
buildit.s
clone.s
fdflush
fdformat
install.s
license.html
settings.s
tomsrtbt.FAQ
tomsrtbt.raw
unpack.s

(Also note that the top one, as per most Linux distributions, is happily
colorized.)

$.02,

-Ken
