Re: less: extra entries for lesspipe

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>]

Hi,
	Oh. Well, I have a local lessopen script that takes precedence
 over the /usr/bin things. I like seeing as much of the stuff as
 possible (like looking at tar files one can read the README file
 without having to untar and read and delete stuff later?)

	I do not think my particular lessopen is a godd default
 either; I woud like the default to be minimalistic with the least
 surprise principle (strings for a binarty is not least surprise)

	manoj
