File README.SUSE of Package less.33176
Dear user, the 'less' application, thanks to its preprocessor, is able to show even binary formats using calls to external commands. Since not every user finds this feature plausible, you have the opportunity to customize behavior of 'less' using the environment variable LESS_ADVANCED_PREPROCESSOR. By default, it's set to "no" in /etc/profile -- thus if you require less to handle binary formats, set this in your startup scripts: export LESS_ADVANCED_PREPROCESSOR="yes" Remark for experienced users: If you had already set this switch and want to temporarily override it, you can force 'less' to read a file from its standard input instead, e.g.: less < dumb.ps will show the source PostScript, and not the "rendered" result.
