Tim,

In October you reported issues with some of the programs available at
http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/win2k/main.htm . I have had some time today to
start looking at some of the outstanding issues and tried to see if the
problem with less was still there that you reported. The problem was:

 * less has problems with input.  Enhanced keys don't
     work, and text input (eg when searching) is shown
     double (eg a search for foo shows '/ffoooo' in the
     status line

I could search and the search facility worked correctly, no double chars and
found the text string.

I tried about 6 of the ctrl-? keys to perform the functions as defined in
the info.hlp file and they all worked correctly.

My conclusion is that one or more of the code changes committed to CVS since
early October has fixed these two problems. The info binary file at clio
that I updated earlier this week includes the info.exe that I ran the tests
against.

Andrew
