After I tried "LIST" (shareware by Vernon D. Buerg) I threw away
my MSDOS LESS.  LIST does everything LESS does, and (1) doesn't
have nearly as many bugs, (2) gives MUCH faster response, (3) uses
the cursor keys to navigate the file.

I have version 5.91 (1986).  I remember a dangerously buggy version
circa 1984, but the recent LIST is great.

Disclaimer - I have no connection with the authors of either LESS or LIST.
