-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subject: g.list doesn't work

Platform: Windows NT, 2000
Xwindows version: xfree86 4.1.0
TclTk version: tcl/tk 8.0.5
grass downloaded at: Trento site
grass binary for platform: Linux/Intel binaries

I installed grass for windows on a windows NT and a windows2000 machine.
Grass works fine from the cygwin shell and from the xfree server.
The command g.list doesn't work from the command line of the cygwin shell and it doesn't work from the command line on the xfree server.
The file /usr/local/grass5/bin/g.list is availabel.
On the windows2000 machine the tcl/tk works. And by using the menu I can get a list of the available files (raster, vector, ...). Then I can choose and display these files.

We should improve the interface so that people will
give more information about the version of grass they are using.
If they are using a CVS version, they should tell us the date
and branches the've downloaded.

Hi,

this sounds like the less=more problem.
Try to set

export GRASS_PAGER=less
g.list rast

If working, we should consider to predefine GRASS_PAGER to less
under cygwin.

I found "less" to be a nuisance (taking over the entire terminal
screen), and set GRASS_PAGER=cat. rxvt has a scrollback buffer, which
reduces the need for paging; IIRC, the NT/2K command prompt also
supports scrollback.

"more" is a pager, "less" is a file viewer. They aren't equivalent.

They are, more or less...

(sorry, couldn't resist more ...)
