Have you tried it? Even if I unset $LESS on my system (which normally contains "-R"), wdiff -a automatically pages to less (hmm, maybe you need to set PAGER to "less" rather than "more" too). And if you don't explicitly pipe to a pager and just let "wdiff -a" do it, then wdiff overstrikes the characters such that less (maybe you need a real terminal like xterm rather than something crappy like gnome-terminal) colourises it correctly. -- Tim Connors -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
