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).
