Re: Updated: less-444-1

[Christopher Faylor <cgf-use-the-mailinglist-please at cygwin dot com>]

I've made a new version of less available for installation.  This is the
most recent version of less available from greenwoodsoftware.com.  The
description of what's new from the last release is below.  This version
of less should now also (judging from configure script output) have wide
character support.

======================================================================

        Major changes between "less" versions 436 and 443

* Change search behavior such that when a search is given an explicit 
  pattern, the entire displayed screen is included in the search and 
  not just the portion after the target line.

  the portion of the screen after the target line is searched.

  of the input file.

  in combination with -i and -I.
