[curses] garbled output in less on Windows #9

Closed gryzus24 closed 2 years ago

gryzus24 commented 2 years ago

Commands that redirect their output to less do not display properly on any terminal on Windows.

Less barely manages to work in a clean terminal session on Windows, making it inherit the program's curses environment just asks for something to break. This is yet another reason to consider implementing a simpler pager that supports only scrolling and searching.
