- This is an updated version of "LESS" from Fish #34
-
- It fixes several bugs and has some nice new features
-
- * It is a "better more" , that is you can go forward or backward, search,
- got to line numbers, or a percentage of the file, <space> moves forward
- just like more, however "b" backs up and many more options are available
- (type h for help)
-
- * It now works from the WorkBench and can show files with blanks in the names
-
- * Templates now work -- yes you can say: less *.c *.h "Amiga File Name"
- and browse through 100 files in one command
-
- * Backspace and ^X now work in searches

- [Ed note: As received, less defaulted to having the command line option
- -p active (which presented the next screen by clearing the current one
- and repainting from the top). However, I found this visually confusing
- and opposite the default behavior of less on other systems. I believe
- Bob set it up this way because it was faster. I hope he doesn't mind
- that I changed it back. If you prefer the -p default, the original
- version is "less.orig". -Fred Fish, 2-May-87]
