22 | This is the distribution of "less", a paginator similar to "more" or "pg". | |
23 | The manual page is in less.man (nroff source in less.nro). | |
24 | ||
25 | INSTALLATION: | |
26 | ||
27 | 1. Move the distributed source to its own directory and | |
28 | unpack it by running "sh" on the distribution files, | |
29 | if you have not already done so. | |
30 | ||
31 | 2. Type "sh linstall" and answer the questions it asks. | |
32 | This will generate a makefile and a defines.h. | |
33 | ||
34 | If you choose not to include some features in your version, | |
35 | you may wish to edit the manual page "less.nro" and the help | |
36 | page "less.help" to remove the references to the appropriate | |
37 | commands or options. | |
38 | ||
39 | 3. It is a good idea to look over the generated makefile | |
40 | and make sure it looks ok. | |
41 | ||
42 | 4. Type "make" and watch the fun. | |
43 | ||
44 | 5. If the make succeeds, it will generate a program "less" | |
45 | in your current directory. Test the generated program. | |
46 | ||
47 | 6. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it | |
48 | in a public place, type "make install". | |
49 | ||
50 | If you have any problems building or running "less", | |
51 | suggestions, complaints, etc., you may mail to the | |
52 | author via USENET at: | |
