Thanks for the info but the on-the-fly decompression provided by `lv` was an unexpected bonus for me at the time. My problem then was trying to display ja_JP.UTF-8 as well as ja_JP.SJIS and the odd ja_JP.EUC-JP encoded files *without* having to say which encoding was used. Most of the time I wouldn't know up front anyway. # And the occasional ko_KR.*, zh_CN.* and zh_TW.* encoded files when # dealing with translated messages. BTW, `lv` lets you switch the display encoding while displaying content (with `t`, and `T` to switch back) and `=` tells you what encoding you're looking at. > I may come to like less more than more, :-) > especially after I realise that > '&pattern' is not a commandline option, is regex, and can be turned on > and off.
