Cless is a port of GNU's less version 290 that supports the display of files written in the Chinese language using the GB (simple) or Big5 (complex) encodings. You can switch to reading of normal ASCII text by setting the environment LESSCHARSET to 'ascii'. Also, the help can be displayed in either Simple Chinese, Complex Chinese, or English by setting the LESSHELP environmental variable to the correct helpfile. Cless should be run w/in a CXterm or a similar terminal emulator supporting Chinese language encodings.
