Here is the script if anyone is interested, however it isn't the most efficient.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
LINES=`wc -l $1| awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/ //g'`
while [ $LINES -ge 1 ]
do
sed -n "$LINES p" $1
LINES=`expr $LINES - 1`
done
If anyone finds the equivalent binary that basically reads the file from bottom to top, please post and let me know.
Thanks,
TioTony

newscr
curs_variables(3X) curs_variables(3X)
NAME
COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, COLS, ESCDELAY, LINES, TABSIZE, curscr, newscr, stdscr - curses global variables
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int COLOR_PAIRS;
int COLORS;
int COLS;
int ESCDELAY;
int LINES;
int TABSIZE;
WINDOW * curscr;
WINDOW * newscr;
WINDOW * stdscr;
DESCRIPTION
This page summarizes variables provided by the curses library. A more complete description is given in the curses(3X) manual page.
Depending on the configuration, these may be actual variables, or macros (see curs_threads(3X)) which provide read-only access to curses's
state. In either case, applications should treat them as read-only to avoid confusing the library.
COLOR_PAIRS
After initializing curses, this variable contains the number of color pairs which the terminal can support. Usually the number of color
pairs will be the product COLORS*COLORS, however this is not always true:
o a few terminals use HLS colors, which do not follow this rule
o terminals supporting a large number of colors are limited by the number of color pairs that can be represented in a signed short value.
COLORS
After initializing curses, this variable contains the number of colors which the terminal can support.
COLS
After initializing curses, this variable contains the width of the screen, i.e., the number of columns.
ESCDELAY
This variable holds the number of milliseconds to wait after reading an escape character, to distinguish between an individual escape char-
acter entered on the keyboard from escape sequences sent by cursor- and function-keys (see curses(3X).
LINES
After initializing curses, this variable contains the height of the screen, i.e., the number of lines.
TABSIZE
This variable holds the number of columns used by the curses library when converting a tab character to spaces as it adds the tab to a win-
dow (see curs_addch(3X).
The Current Screen
This implementation of curses uses a special window curscr to record its updates to the terminal screen.
The New Screen
This implementation of curses uses a special window newscr to hold updates to the terminal screen before applying them to curscr.
The Standard Screen
Upon initializing curses, a default window called stdscr, which is the size of the terminal screen, is created. Many curses functions use
this window.
NOTES
The curses library is initialized using either initscr(3X), or newterm(3X).
If curses is configured to use separate curses/terminfo libraries, most of these variables reside in the curses library.
PORTABILITY
ESCDELAY and TABSIZE are extensions, not provided in most other implementations of curses.
