        !             5: 
        !             6: 1. Move the distributed source to its own directory and 
        !             7:    unpack it by running "sh" on the distribution file,
        !             8:    if you have not already done so.
        !             9: 
        !            10: 2. If your system is System V:

        !            20: 
        !            21:    These features are selectable at compile time:

        !            26:    edit the makefile appropriately.
        !            27:    (If you do not include either SHELL_ESCAPE or EDITOR,
        !            28:     you may wish to edit the manual page "less.l" to remove

        !            32: 
        !            33: 4. If the make succeeds, it will generate a program "less"

        !            35:
