- Less 177 on ftp-os2.nmsu in pub/os2/2.0/gnu/, ported by John Kim, does work
- on my machine (386-33, no 87). However, it does not work with every emx.dll
- (less 177 was ported with Mattes' EMX, a DOS/OS2 gcc development system).
- Several versions of emx.dll have been appearing in the GNU stuff (such as
- all the great ports by Kai Uwe Rommel). On my machine, less and all the
- other GNU stuff I've tested works with:
- 7-08-92 10:28 29778 0 emx.dll
- but, of course, I've forgotten which package contains this version.
-
- Finally, a small plea to developers: If it is easy, please consider providing
- an OS/2 1.3 port also. I do not know if less falls in this category, and
- I certainly thank John Kim for his 2.0 port, but I only have 1.3 at school.
