Less and ANSI colour escape sequences

[Suvayu Ali]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering why `less' in Fedora 11 can't display ANSI colour escape 
sequences even with the `-r' or `-R' options. I use grep as `grep 
--color=always'. When I pipe the output to `less -R' or `less -r' all 
the colours are lost. This works on my Xubuntu machine at the 
University. Is this a bug with the Fedora package?

Thanks for any insights.
