This is to announce that the DJGPP port of version 374 of the GNU
Less package is available from SimTel.NET mirrors worldwide:
http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/lss374b.zip&name=lss374b.zip
http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/lss374s.zip&name=lss374s.zip
(The ported package was uploaded to SimTel about 2 months ago, but I
forgot to announce it; sorry about that.)
Less is a text file browser and much more. In addition to features that
you'd expect (paging up and down through the file, searching, marking
places and jumping between them, viewing several files in a single
session), it also provides many unusual extensions. Examples include
file-name completion, ability to invoke arbitrary shell commands or pipe
parts of the file to those commands, fully customizable key bindings, etc.
The DJGPP version uses colors to designate bold, underlined, and
inverse-video text. It also supports display of text with embedded SGR
escape sequences by emulating the Posix-standard ANSI terminal driver.
This release has no major new features, but many minor ones. Please see
the file NEWS in the distribution for the full list.
Please direct any further discussions about this port to
comp.os.msdos.djgpp news group (or write to its e-mail gateway
djgpp AT delorie DOT com).
