I've made a new version of less available for installation. This is the
most recent version of less available from greenwoodsoftware.com. The
description of what's new from the last release is below. This version
of less should now also (judging from configure script output) have wide
character support.

======================================================================
Major changes between "less" versions 436 and 443
* Change search behavior such that when a search is given an explicit
pattern, the entire displayed screen is included in the search and
not just the portion after the target line.
* Add -A option to change search behavior to the old way: only
the portion of the screen after the target line is searched.
* Add %F formatting to prompt strings, replaced by the last component
of the input file.
* Control-G while editing a command exits the command.
* Less now exits with status 2 if control-C is pressed and -K is in effect.

* Fix bug in using line filtering via the & command
in combination with -i and -I.
* Fix bug in handling negative arguments to the -j option.
* Fix bug in handling %t in prompt strings.
