It is my guess by his refusal to answer a simple question about a post that he made, is that he doesn't know how he compiled less, and can't understand a simple request for information. But we have seen this sort of thing before, haven't we. However if anyone can tell me the steps to get less working with mingw32 I would be grateful. I'm afraid I don't understand what less doesn't like about my termcap, or where I got it from. Do I need ncurses? -- Bartlee A.
