Re: Multilingual pager for octave on windows

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello  

Sorry 'less' has been already supports multilingual environment on windows.

In startup batch file 
 set LANG=(correct locale) like :set LANG=ja_JP.SJIS
or

in .octaverc  

putenv('LANG','ja_JP.SJIS')

Although some characters seem still to be failed to be represented correctly,
the above setting prevents the screen is filled with ugly control codes!!!!!! 
:-).


The newest less binary is available from
