Basically, every Unix with a "more" that cannot manage ANSI escapes (most more programs, particularly if they are SYSVR4 more can). On Linux, most distros that use "less" in the clothes of "more" have accomodated themselves to the situation by now hacking either the LESSOPTS environment variable or man's configuration file (thatn would be the *other* man). I knew making SGR the default would bite back with a vengeance sooner or later; it was later alright. My mind is at ease on this matter, I kicked and screamed when it was proper to do so and no one listened :-).
