I'm not sure how to interpret this paragraph. Manpages viewed with less
are correctly colorized, but the command

     ls -l --color | less -r

which should allow me to view a colorized directory listing one page at
a time doesn't work
on my Windows NT 4.0 Workstation (which lacks the ANSI driver)

This command works OK in a Cygwin environment, but not in the DJGPP
environment. In fact, I've never been able to page a file with ANSI
escape sequences throught any the DJGPP version of less.

The tested versions are:
 Cygwin: less 358
 DJGPP:  less 374

Should this DJGPP version of less support ANSI color escape sequences? 
Or only backscaped bold and underline as in manpages?
