+
+=========================================================================
+
+This is the distribution of "less", a paginator similar to "more" or "pg".
+
+The formatted manual page is in less.man.
+The manual page nroff source is in less.nro.
+Major changes made since the last posted version are in NEWS.
+
+=======================================================================
+INSTALLATION (Unix systems only):
+
+1. Move the distributed source to its own directory and unpack it,
+ if you have not already done so.
+
+2. Type "sh configure".
+ This will generate a Makefile and a defines.h.
+ Warning: if you have a GNU sed, make sure it is version 2.05 or later.
+
+ The file INSTALL describes the usage of the configure program in
+ general. In addition, these options to configure are supported:
+
+ --with-editor=program
+ Specifies the default editor program used by the "v" command.
+ The default is "vi".
+
+ --with-regex=lib
+ Specifies the regular expression library used by less for pattern
+ matching. The default is "auto", which means the configure program
+ finds a regular expression library automatically. Other values are:
+ posix Use the POSIX-compatible regcomp.
+ pcre Use the PCRE library.
+ regcmp Use the regcmp library.
+ re_comp Use the re_comp library.
+ regcomp Use the V8-compatible regcomp.
+ regcomp-local Use Henry Spencer's V8-compatible regcomp
+ (source is supplied with less).
+ --with-secure
+ Builds a "secure" version of less, with some features disabled
+ to prevent users from viewing other files, accessing shell
+ commands, etc.
+
+
+3. It is a good idea to look over the generated Makefile and defines.h
+ and make sure they look ok. If you know of any peculiarities of
+ your system that configure might not have detected, you may fix the
+ Makefile now. Take particular notice of the list of "terminal"
+ libraries in the LIBS definition in the Makefile; these may need
+ to be edited. The terminal libraries will be some subset of
+ -lncurses -lcurses -ltermcap -ltermlib
+
+ If you wish, you may edit defines.h to remove some optional features.
+ If you choose not to include some features in your version, you may
+ wish to edit the manual page "less.nro" and the help page "less.hlp"
+ to remove the descriptions of the features which you are removing.
+ If you edit less.hlp, you should run "make -f Makefile.aut help.c".
+
+4. Type "make" and watch the fun.
+
+5. If the make succeeds, it will generate the programs "less",
+ "lesskey" and "lessecho" in your current directory. Test the
+ generated programs.
+
+6. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it
+ in a public place, type "make install".
+
+ The default install destinations are:
+ Executables (less, lesskey, lessecho) in /usr/local/bin
+ Documentation (less.nro, lesskey.nro) in /usr/local/man/man1
+ If you want to install any of these files elsewhere, define
+ bindir and/or mandir to the appropriate directories.
+
+If you have any problems building or running "less", suggestions,
+complaints, etc., you may mail to the author at markn@greenwoodsoftware.com.
+
+Note to hackers: comments noting possible improvements are enclosed
+in double curly brackets {{ like this }}.
+
+(Note that the above note was originally written at a time when
+"hackers" most commonly meant "enthusiastic and dedicated computer
+programmers", not "persons who attempt to circumvent computer security".)
+
+
+
+=======================================================================
+INSTALLATION (MS-DOS systems only,
+ with Microsoft C, Borland C, or DJGPP)
+
+1. Move the distributed source to its own directory.
+ Depending on your compiler, you may need to convert the source
+ to have CR-LF rather than LF as line terminators.
+
+2. If you are using Microsoft C, rename MAKEFILE.DSU to MAKEFILE.
+ If you are using Borland C, rename MAKEFILE.DSB to MAKEFILE.
+ If you are using DJGPP, rename MAKEFILE.DSG to MAKEFILE.
+
+3. Look at MAKEFILE to make sure that the definitions for CC and LIBDIR
+ are correct. CC should be the name of your C compiler and
+ LIBDIR should be the directory where the C libraries reside (for
+ Microsoft C only). If these definitions need to be changed, you can
+ either modify the definitions directly in MAKEFILE, or set your
+ environment variables CC and/or LIBDIR to override the definitions
+ in MAKEFILE.
+
+4. If you wish, you may edit DEFINES.DS to remove some optional features.
+ If you choose not to include some features in your version, you may
+ wish to edit the manual page LESS.MAN and the help page HELP.C
+ to remove the descriptions of the features which you are removing.
+
+5. Run your "make" program and watch the fun.
+ If your "make" requires a flag to import environment variables,
+ you should use that flag.
+ If your compiler runs out of memory, try running "make -n >cmds.bat"
+ and then run cmds.bat.
+
+6. If the make succeeds, it will generate the programs "LESS.EXE" and
+ "LESSKEY.EXE" in your current directory. Test the generated programs.
+
+7. When satisfied that it works, you may wish to install LESS.EXE and
+ LESSKEY.EXE in a directory which is included in your PATH.
+
+
+
+=======================================================================
+INSTALLATION (Windows-95, Windows-98 and Windows-NT systems only,
+ with Borland C or Microsoft Visual C++)
+
+1. Move the distributed source to its own directory.
+
+2. If you are using Borland C, rename Makefile.wnb to Makefile.
+ If you are using Microsoft Visual C++, rename Makefile.wnm to Makefile.
+
+3. Check the Makefile to make sure the definitions look ok.
+
+4. If you wish, you may edit defines.wn to remove some optional features.
+ If you choose not to include some features in your version, you may
+ wish to edit the manual page less.man and the help page help.c
+ to remove the descriptions of the features which you are removing.
+
+5. Type "make" and watch the fun.
+
+6. If the make succeeds, it will generate the programs "less.exe" and
+ "lesskey.exe" in your current directory. Test the generated programs.
+
+7. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it
+ in a public place, type "make install".
+ See step 6 of the Unix installation instructions for details
+ on how to change the default installation directories.
+
+
+
+=======================================================================
+INSTALLATION (OS/2 systems only,
+ with EMX C)
+
+1. Move the distributed source to its own directory.
+
+2. Rename Makefile.o2e to Makefile.
+
+3. Check the Makefile to make sure the definitions look ok.
+
+4. If you wish, you may edit defines.o2 to remove some optional features.
+ If you choose not to include some features in your version, you may
+ wish to edit the manual page less.man and the help page help.c
+ to remove the descriptions of the features which you are removing.
+
+5. Type "make" and watch the fun.
+
+6. If the make succeeds, it will generate the programs "less.exe" and
+ "lesskey.exe" in your current directory. Test the generated programs.
+
+7. Make sure you have the emx runtime installed. You need the emx DLLs
+ emx.dll and emxlibcs.dll and also the termcap database, termcap.dat.
+ Make sure you have termcap.dat either in the default location or
+ somewhere in a directory listed in the PATH or INIT environment
+ variables.
+
+8. When satisfied that it works, you may wish to install less.exe,
+ lesskey.exe and scrsize.exe in a directory which is included in
+ your PATH. scrsize.exe is required only if you use a terminal
+ emulator such as xterm or rxvt.
+
+
+
+=======================================================================
+INSTALLATION (OS-9 systems only,
+ with Microware C or Ultra C)
+
+1. Move the distributed source to its own directory.
+
+2. If you are using Microware C, rename Makefile.o9c to Makefile.
+ If you are using Ultra C, rename Makefile.o9u to Makefile.
+
+3. Check the Makefile to make sure the definitions look ok.
+
+4. If you wish, you may edit defines.o9 to remove some optional features.
+ If you choose not to include some features in your version, you may
+ wish to edit the manual page less.man and the help page help.c
+ to remove the descriptions of the features which you are removing.
+
+5. Type "dmake" and watch the fun.
+ The standard OS-9 "make" will probably not work. If you don't
+ have dmake, you can get a copy from os9archive.rtsi.com.
+
+6. If the make succeeds, it will generate the programs "less" and
+ "lesskey" in your current directory. Test the generated programs.
+
+7. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it
+ in a public place, type "dmake install".
+ See step 6 of the Unix installation instructions for details
+ on how to change the default installation directories.
