I just did the patch and checked it on my installation. Seems to work fine.

Please see the attached files, patch can be applied by unpacking the actual src
and bin tar files and then
using patch -p0 <termcap.patch or patch -p0 <termcap-src.patch

Only a patch to the source is required.  Thanks for providing this.

if I do not use the -r option in less command I get the following output :

I have aliased ls='ls --color'. After changing it to alias ls='ls --color=tty'

$ ls -l | less

works fine.

Re: less problem

[Andrew Patrzalek]

On a related note, in /etc/man.conf if I use PAGER=less -irs it will
interpret the escape sequences correctly for the man pages. If I alias
more='less -irs' I can get the neat colors for commands like ls -l | more
 using dircolors ). The less manpage warns about using the 'r' command line
switch. Has anyone had problems with it?
    With emacs however if I execute the internal shell I can't seem to
correct the prompt escape sequence. I just use another window to get around
it. It would be nice to do everything in emacs if I could though.

Thank you for your edification.  When submitting patches in the
future, I will only use the above mentioned format.

Regarding this patch -- it seems like Michael Ring beat me to it.

That is not a patch, unfortunately.

The key here is that you wanted me to do something for you.  I am
willing to do it but it is in your best interests to provide me with
something that is standard (i.e., a patch) and will require minimal
effort on my part to work with.

A patch just requires that I type cd /somedirectory; patch < somefile.
It does not require that I inspect the file in question and try to
determine where to put things.  It's only marginally more work for me
but I'd like people to be in the habit of sending patches, just like
every other free software mailing list in the world.

Why do you set the TERM to win32?  The default is cygwin which is more or less
an emulation of linux with a few modifications.

Point well taken.  But, would you be willing to at least add termcap
entries for rxvt, vt100, and other popular terminal types?

Thanks,

Can I ask why?  I don't see much sense in downloading megabytes of information
and installing it on your system so that you get the same functionality as
comes from a 9745 byte termcap file.

The less that is included in Cygwin only supports termcap and does
not support terminfo.  Hence, your TERM must be set to only one of 
entries in /etc/termcap.  If you are using cmd or bash, then just set
your TERM variable to cygwin or linux.  This will solve the above
problem.

If you are (or want) to use rxvt, then download less from

    ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/B20/less-332-cygwin-b20-bin.tar.gz

which supports terminfo.  You will also have to download ncurses from

    http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/ncurses-5.0/ncurses-5.0-cygwin-pre21.tar.bz2

Note that the Cygwin texinfo also only supports termcap, you can get a
terminfo version from

    http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/texinfo-3.12/texinfo-3.12-cygwin1.1.tar.bz2

I really wished that Cygwin already included terminfo versions of less,
texinfo, etc., and ncurses (ie, terminfo) too.

less problem

[Shiv Kumar]

Hi all

This is my first posting to this list. So excuse me if this question has been
answered a milliion times before.

Whenever I use less it complains that the terminal is not fully functional.

     [/home:$] set | less
     WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
     -  (press RETURN)
     [/home:$] echo $TERM
     win32
     [/home:$]

Any clues why?

Thanks.
