-       Less  is  a  program similar to more (1), but which allows
-       backward movement in the file as well as forward movement.
-       Also,  less  does  not  have to read the entire input file
-       before starting, so with large input files  it  starts  up
-       faster  than  text editors like vi (1).
+Less is a pager program more advanced than more(1). Its features include
+backward movement, searching and highlighting, multiple files, bold and
+underlining, key bindings (using lesskey(1)), customized tab stops,
+filters for different file types, custom character sets, line numbering,
+custom prompts, and many more.
+
+Also, less does not have to read the entire input file before starting,
+so with large input files it starts up faster than text editors like
+vi(1).
+
+This package also includes the lessecho command which can expand
+metacharacters, such as * and ?, in filenames.
+
+This version of less was written by and is maintained by Mark Nudelman.
