less locks the file

[Jean-Pierre Bergamin]

Dear cygwin-Users

When using less to follow a log file (less +F logfile.log), this file is 
locked. So when I restart the application, it cannot delete this locked 
log file and create a new one. So I always have to quit less, before 
restarting the app, which I of course forget like every 2nd time... less 
does not lock on linux.

Is there any way I could tell less not to lock the file?


Best regards,
James
