You'll find that the more that comes with FreeBSD does quite a bit
more than other mores, and is a lot like less! ;-)
Seriously, FreeBSD's `more' has quite a few of less's features. I've
never really needed `less' on a FreeBSD host. If you really want it,
it compiles painlessly (add -ltermcap to the lib list).
In addition, there's a precompiled package for it on the FreeBSD 2.1
CD-ROM ... mount your cdrom and type:
pkg_add /cdrom/packages/utilities/less-290.tgz
It's also in the ports collection under the `utilities' directory.
You can also FTP the package or the port from ftp.freebsd.org ... look
in /pub/FreeBSD/{ports/utils/less,packages/utiltiies/less-290.tgz}.
