Hi there and good evening.  On my (ahem) Linux box, I want to use the 
version of "less" (less is not more, but it is a more featureful more, 
heh) that comes with the latest FreeBSD.  Is it pretty straightforward to 
get less's source from the FreeBSD ftp server and compile on my linux box? 
Thanks to anyone who can give me some pointers!

Come to think of it, since the "ls" (dir) binary does NOT sort properly, 
the way that FreeBSD does, I wonder if I should tackle "ls" too!  :)
