Manpages viewed with less are correctly colorized, but the command ls -l --color | less -r which should allow me to view a colorized directory listing one page at a time doesn't work on my Windows NT 4.0 Workstation (which lacks the ANSI driver) This command works OK in a Cygwin environment, but not in the DJGPP environment. In fact, I've never been able to page a file with ANSI escape sequences throught any the DJGPP version of less. The tested versions are: Cygwin: less 358 DJGPP: less 374 Should this DJGPP version of less support ANSI color escape sequences? Or only backscaped bold and underline as in manpages? -- To reply by e-mail, please remove the extra dot in the given address: m.collado -> mcollado
