Hello Eli.

Yes. I wrote to the author of less (Mark Nudelman) and he told me the same, and
"I'll tell you when the pre-release is ready, so that you can test it."
I didn't receive anything from him since then, but I found less-324.zip on his
site (members.aol.com)
so I just tried it.
There seems to be a "extern int fd0" missing in ch.c, line 673, but apart from
that all seems ok.
Good job, obviously !
I'll go further in testing it, and comparing the way you (and ...? ) ported it
to DJGPP, with the way I did it.

Hope to hear from you soon, Eli ...
