Please tell more. Exactly how did you call Less, and what is included
in your definition of ``startup time''?
I use Less a lot on DOS, Windows 3.X and Windows 95, and don't see any
such slow start on any of these systems.

I could dig out the last address of Mark Nudelman that I used to write
to him, but it seems that this problem is DJGPP- or Windows-specific,
so it makes sense to try to understand what's going on before
reporting this as a bug to the author.
