ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU Less 418 uploaded
Robert Riebisch
Less is a paginator similar to more and pg with better features like
backwards as well as forward scrolling and searching for regular
expressions within the file being viewed.
DJGPP specific changes
======================
There are no DJGPP specific changes to the sources at all.
The binaries have been produced compiling the sources out of the box.
Less author Mark Nudelman already supplied man pages, but these were
made with GNU Troff (groff) version 1.18, which outputs SGR escape
sequences by default. To view such pages you have to use the '-R' option
of Less.
For compatibility with existing DJGPP installations binary packages
(lss418b.zip) include 'old style' man pages produced by the DJGPP port
of groff version 1.16. Source code package (lss418s.zip) still includes
'new style' man pages.
Getting
=======
The port consists of two packages that have been compiled using
djdev203p2 and that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors
as:

Less 418 source (timestamp 2008-01-14):
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/lss418s.zip
For the convenience of the Windows XP users binaries compiled with
djdev204 are also distributed and can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com
and mirrors as:
