AVAILABLE FROM:
ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:/ucb/people/dglo/xless/xless-1.7.tar.gz
ftp.x.org:/contrib/applications/xless-1.7.tar.gz
TESTED ON:
SunOS 4.1.3
Ultrix 4.2
HP-UX 9.01
OSF/1 1.3
INSTALLATION:
Check the Imakefile to see if you need to add or change any DEFINES,
then do the usual 'xmkmf', etc.
CAVEAT:
The color resources are stored in the global app-defaults directory in
a file named 'XLess-color'. If you have a color display and are running
at least X11R5, you may want to add a line like this to your personal
resources file:
#ifdef COLOR
*customization: -color
#endif
Versions of X earlier than X11R5 don't support the `customization'
resource. If you're on one of those, you'll have to include the color
resources in your personal resources file.
