+This is a port of xless (version 1.7), a handy text file viewer for X.
+Useful as a viewer tool for other apps (e.g., xfm, the X file manager),
+or as a standalone viewer. Presents a scrollable text window (both
+vertical and horizontal scrolling), with a number of clickable buttons.
+
+From the README file:
+
+FEATURES:
+ Display either the file(s) specified on the command line or input from
+ standard input, supplied by a pipe. File/pipe may be optionally
+ monitored so that the display is continuously updated as new text is
+ added.
+ Display new files in the current window or by creating a new window.
+ Reload or print the displayed file.
+ Search the displayed file using either exact, case-insensitive, or
+ regular expression patterns.
+ Edit the displayed file with your favorite editor (as specified in
+ the VISUAL or EDITOR environment variable)
