- This version of less/lesskey runs on OS/2 and MS-DOS.
-
- It displays files compressed by the Unix-compress utility (also
- available for OS/2). Compressed files are detected by their magic
- number and may have ANY filename extension. For compressed files,
- compress is started in the background and its output is piped to
- less (this is not available when used on MS-DOS :-).
-
- Less.ini, less.hlp and termcap.dat must be placed somwhere in the PATH.
- Alternatively, less.ini and termcap.dat can be placed into the directory
- pointed to by the INIT environment variable.
-
- If you have nnansi or zansi or nansi, set the env. var. TERM to your screen
- type. The default, if TERM is not set, is ansi. If you have a very fast
- video BIOS or the AnDan Video RAM BIOS, setting TERM to ansi even if you have
- nnansi may be faster in scrolling up or half page up because repainting the
- entire screen is faster then scrolling half of the screen.
-
- HPFS file names are supported.
