Description: A Powerful Multilingual File Viewer
lv is a powerful file viewer like less.
lv can decode and encode multilingual streams through
many coding systems:
ISO-8859, ISO-2022, EUC, SJIS, Big5, HZ, Unicode.
It recognizes multi-bytes patterns as regular
expressions, lv also provides multilingual grep.
In addition, lv can recognize ANSI escape sequences
for text devoration.

Nice, but shouldn't it be "decoration" instead of "devoration"?
And -- it felt much quicker when opening a .gz file.
