I have been for the past week trying to setup man on my my office Win95.
Per the instruction on Cygnus home page I've managed to get the whole=20
groff-1.10, ncurses compiled and seem to work okay.
However I am getiing problem running the compile less.exe using =
less-2.90.
I am only a newbie using Linux and when I set my TERM env variable in my =
..bashrc to ansi or another variant of ansi less.exe complains that my =
terminal
doesn't have backward scrolling capability. Less.exe will run but =
wahtever I'm
displaying scrolls right to the end and not stopping at every page as it =
works under Linux.
What I do was copy /etc/termcap and the whole /usr/lib/terminfo/*/* from =
my home Linux (RedHat 4.0) machine to the appropriate dir on my Win95.
Then I experiment by setting TERM=3Dlinux and TERM=3Dxterm. Both results
in less freezing bash (under Win95).
Anybody that has succesfully compiled less and run flawlessly care to =
tell
me what changes I need to do to make less do the paging. And what is =
your
/etc/termcap file looks like. BTW I do have ansi.sys installed.
TIA
