less - B19 - WARNING terminal is not fully functional

[Mikhail Tchernychev]

You got to install ncurses. I had the same problem
which disappeared after I installed ncurses
from:

ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael/B20

You can fond less there too.

Regards,
Mikhail
