- update to 590: * Make less able to read lesskey source files (deprecating lesskey). * If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set, find lesskey source file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lesskey rather than $HOME/.lesskey. * If XDG_DATA_HOME is set, find and store history file in $XDG_DATA_HOME/lesshst rather than $HOME/.lesshst. * Add the --lesskey-src option. * Add the --file-size option. * With -F, if screen is resized to make file fit on one screen, don't exit.

Dear user, the 'less' application, thanks to its preprocessor, is able to show even binary formats using calls to external commands. Since not every user finds this feature plausible, you have the opportunity to customize behavior of 'less' using the environment variable LESS_ADVANCED_PREPROCESSOR. By default, it's set to "no" in /etc/profile -- thus if you require less to handle binary formats, set this in your startup scripts: export LESS_ADVANCED_PREPROCESSOR="yes" Remark for experienced users: If you had already set this switch and want to temporarily override it, you can force 'less' to read a file from its standard input instead, e.g.: less < dumb.ps will show the source PostScript, and not the "rendered" result.
