I just did a full (100%) cygwin install on a fresh Win2K system. (Well, this is actually the third time: I had two HDs crash Friday.)
On the fresh cygwin install, even before installing ~/.bashrc, when I did "man bash" all the ANSI escape sequences were visible. If I specify "MANPAGER=more", the sequences are interpreted as expected. The problem seems to be with 'less'. It appears less needs to be aliased to 'less -r' for this behavior to go away. Things are OK with man if I set "MANPAGER='less -r'. Anyone got a spare clue? Any idea why the default installation of 'man' and 'less' are behaving this way after a Monday install, when all was fine last Friday? After crashing two hard disks in the same day, I could be cursed... -BobC -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
