Hi everyone,

I was wondering why `less' in Fedora 11 can't display ANSI colour escapesequences even with the `-r' or `-R' options. I use grep as `grep--color=always'. When I pipe the output to `less -R' or `less -r' allthe colours are lost. This works on my Xubuntu machine at theUniversity. Is this a bug with the Fedora package?


Thanks for any insights.
