Hi,

  I just had a look at the repositry to see why I get less. It would seem
that more has moved to the Attic. The log message said the following.

----------------------------
revision 1.18
date: 2000/05/29 13:31:51;  author: ps;  state: dead;  lines: +1 -1
Nuke more from the repository.

 If you look at tge log entry for contrib/less/main.c,v it says the following

description:
----------------------------
revision 1.2
date: 2000/05/23 05:51:17;  author: ps;  state: Exp;  lines: +17 -2
Make less act like more(1) when it is invoked as more.

Obtained from:  NetBSD

branches:  1.1.1;
Initial revision
----------------------------

And the rlog for usr.bin/Makefile,v says the following.

Detach usr.bin/more and install a link from less.  less will behave
like more if invoked as more.  The old more has not been removed.
----------------------------
revision 1.146
date: 2000/05/22 09:59:52;  author: ps;  state: Exp;  lines: +4 -1
bmake glue for less.

Maybe the fact that I did a make release and you a make world? caused it to
be installed or not.
