I have been trying to get an MS-DOS version of less for a long time.  (I even
had a go at porting Version 73--it worked, after a fashion.)  I have seen
LESS.EXE mentioned previously, but I didn't receive an answer to the mail I
sent to the person who mentioned it.

Can anyone help me please.  How can I get a copy of an MS-DOS less?  Please
send me email if you have a copy, and I will contact the closest.  Or, if it
is available via anonymous ftp, the address of that machine will do.  I don't
have access to SIMTEL20 though.

Regards,

Dave Kruger
