You can ftp v123 from scam.berkeley.edu.  There's another cool
version of less named "less v123magic" that has a uses a config
file which determines what type of file it's reading and can run
another program or programs before displaying it (i.e. you can
say "less foo.Z" and v123magic will run uncompress before
displaying foo).

I have no idea where to get source for this version.  I use it at
work, but only the binaries are available, so it may be an
internally-modified version.
