Hi,
I installed "less" "as uploaded" from
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/slackware_source/a/less/less-290.tar.gz
./configure
make
make install and it works flawlessly.
For those interested "less" is like "more" but more, it is
especialy more convinient when you have
"setenv PAGER less"
in your .cshrc or .tcshrc files, then, You can use the arrow keys
to travel forward and backward when reading man pages (you can
also search, jump screens, and many more goodies).
(type "h" while in "less" to get help).
---- Description from the man page:
Less is a program similar to more (1), but which allows
backward movement in the file as well as forward movement.
Also, less does not have to read the entire input file
before starting, so with large input files it starts up
faster than text editors like vi (1). Less uses termcap
(or terminfo on some systems), so it can run on a variety
of terminals.
