# combined lessfile and lesspipe to avoid duplication of decode stage
# shell is sure icky.  I'm real tempted to rewrite the whole thing in Perl
#
# Unfortunately, this means that I have filename dependencies sprinkled
# throughout the code.  If you don't want lessfile to be called that,
# you'll need to change the LESSFILE envar below.
#
# Usage: eval `lessfile`  or eval `lesspipe`
#
# less passes in:
#    $1  filename to be viewed with less  (used by LESSOPEN)
# and possibly (if used by lessfile)
#    $2  filename that was created during LESSOPEN
