Cless

Jul 20, 2023

Better pager utility (and it speaks Chinese)

A paginator similar to “more” or “pg”, but much more powerful and speaks Chinese.

Cless is a port of GNU’s less version 290 that suports the display of files written in the Chinese language using the GB simple or Big5 complex encodings. You can switch to reading of normal ASCII text by setting the environment LESSCHARSET to ‘ascii’.

Also, the help can be displayed in either Simple Chinese, Complex Chinese, or English by setting the LESSHELP environmental variable to the correct helpfile. Cless should be run w/in a CXterm or simular terminal emulator supporting Chinese language encodings.
