- This is the distribution of "less", a paginator similar to "more" or "pg".
- The manual page is in less.l.
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- 1. Move the distributed source to its own directory and
- unpack it by running "sh" on the distribution file,
- if you have not already done so.
-
- 2. If your system is System V:
- cp makefile.sys5 makefile
- If your system is Berkeley 4.2bsd:
- cp makefile.bsd42 makefile
- If your system is Berkeley 4.1bsd:
- cp makefile.bsd41 makefile
- If your system is Xenix 3.0:
- cp makefile.xen makefile
- Otherwise, edit the makefile to make the
- system parameters match your system.
-
- These features are selectable at compile time:
- shell escapes (SHELL_ESCAPE)
- editor invocation (EDITOR)
- alternate error message handling (ONLY_RETURN)
- If you want to have any of these features,
- edit the makefile appropriately.
- (If you do not include either SHELL_ESCAPE or EDITOR,
- you may wish to edit the manual page "less.l" to remove
- the references to the "!" and/or "v" commands.)
-
- 3. Type "make" and watch the fun.
-
- 4. If the make succeeds, it will generate a program "less"
- in your current directory. Test the generated program.
-
- 5. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it
- in a public place, edit the makefile so that INSTALL_LESS
- and INSTALL_MAN are the proper filenames.
- Then type "make install".
-
- If you have any problems building or running "less",
- you may mail to the author via USENET at:
- ...!tektronix!reed!nsc-pdc!mark
- or ...!ihnp4!nsc!nsc-pdc!mark
-
- Note to hackers: comments noting possible improvements are enclosed
- in double curly brackets {{ like this }}.
