the one I saw, after my buildworld, only performed automatic 
decompression of archives like *.tar.gz and *.tar.bz2 things, it did not 
do automatic objdump info runs on libraries and executeables.  Yours 
does this?  Confirm that for me by doing a "less /usr/bin/vi" and if 
less comes back with a "Binary file, are your sure?" then I'm right, but 
if it comes back with all the elf info, and then a listing of symbols, 
then I guess I would need to see why my own system did not do that.

I should not need that setenv, because it should have been in 
/etc/csh.cshrc so it works automatically.  Maybe, if you're telling me 
that it does it, then I needed merely to fix that.

It's possible, I could have assumed that since it wasn't in the 
/etc/csh.cshrc, it didn't exist.  I guess I need to see that.

OK, I just checked my sources, in /usr/src/usr.bin/less/lesspipe.sh.
Unless another file somewhere overwrites it, I'm right here.  Could you 
please check yourself on your system?
