Re: 1.7.1: /usr/bin/more.exe



Peter Koch a écrit :
Hi!

Running 1.7.1 on Windows 2008 R2 i experience problems with more.exe
(which is a copy of less.exe).

Specifically, if i view a file with less lines as the cygwin shell can
show, NOTHING is displayed.

$ echo "aaaa" >a
$cat a
aaa
$ more a
$ less a
aaa
a (END)

more behave differently than less by default, specificaly if more isn't more, but less doing it as more...

historically, less isn't more, but more than more, but not more !

so, let's try : humm, man more less :-)

export MORE=-ces
export LESS=-crs

under *bsd, export MORE=-ceis
under *unix, export MODE=-cls (AIx, HP-UX, etc.)

Regards,

Cyrille Lefevre
