What about just forgetting paged output under Windows? It's been a while, but the only decent one that I ever found was LIST.COM, and that's probably vanished now. I haven't used Windows in a while, are pipes still as awful as they were? That is to say they cheated and redirected output to a temporary file then redirected that file to the input of the second process. The upshot of which was you had to have the whole pipe complete before you could view the first page of output. I can well imagine that in Windows I would find the paged output more painful than useful.
