Because when I look at a binary with less, I *mean* to do that... usually to look for corruption (blocks of nulls) or things like *short* strings or strings not in the text section, that "strings" *won't find*. > mentioned above. But this set of commands gives me a lot of useful stuff > with only command. Sure -- but it should be a *different* command than less... Mostly I'm being lazy, of course - I haven't needed to know how to disable lesspipe for my own use; if this gets added, I will. Someone else may have to judge if this is a useful thing for naive users... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
