Thanks, that seems to work (just unzipped all those files into C:\usr\local\... and add the C:\usr\local\bin to my path), but I thought less.exe was very broken at first because "G" (capital-G) moves to the beginning of the file, not the end (actually, it puts the first line at the bottom of the screen, and tildes "~" on each other line). Hmm, just noticed it works correctly when it gets its input from stdin. Any ideas?

Wow, "man" actually works -- real man pages, and even some color -- a first for my NT4 box with Cygwin.
