But it say nothing about bz2 files. (You can have both in portage depending to the date where you installed the package. Recently installed -> bz2, old installation -> gz.) The funny part on gentoo is at LESSOPEN='|lesspipe.sh %s' lesspipe.sh is a less preprocessor made by gentoo. This file is join, so maybe at we can distribute it in the addons directory. man zless is also talking about the env var LESSMETACHARS. It doesn't exist on gentoo. LESS='-R -M --shift 5' zless support only gz files and not bz2 files. Another aspect is at simple things generally are working better, so i think at is better to fix this at less level as at fvwm-crystal level. If less that come with your distribution cannot let you to view the files installed by your distribution in /usr/share/doc, fill a bug report to your distribution. It is not fvwm-crystal fault is less that come with some distributions is almost useless and can even not visualize the distribution documentation. It is what I think. But if you think at it is better to fix it at fvwm-crystal level as to let the distribution maintainers do their job, your are free to fix it. Ciao, Dominique
