Hi Nadim, The new version of less is ready for testing. You can download from http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/less-384.tar.gz. I'm especially interested in testing multibyte UTF-8 characters, and composing and combining characters, including special cases like man-page style overstriking of multi-byte characters (two identical characters with a backspace between them, or a character overstruck by an underscore), line breaks in long lines containing multibyte characters, and command line editing (search pattern or :e filename) with multibyte characters. One thing that I know doesn't work quite right is combining characters on the command line, although composing characters should work. Let me know if you find any problems.
Thanks for your help! --Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nadim Shaikli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mark Nudelman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2004 9:12 PM Subject: Re: less & composing characters - fix > --- Mark Nudelman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > No problem, I probably won't have it ready until Monday or later anyway. > > Cool, drop us a line of where to grab the source and we'll gladly give > any feedback we might conjure. > > Regards, > > - Nadim > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Nadim Shaikli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "Mark Nudelman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2004 12:10 AM > > Subject: Re: less & composing characters - fix > > > > > > > --- Mark Nudelman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I have a new version of less almost complete, in which I've > > > > rewritten much of the UTF-8 handling code and incorporated > > > > your fixes for composing and combining characters.
