colourization in ls command

[Nikos Vassiliadis]

you can "export CLICOLOR_FORCE=1" and have the terminal
sequences redirected too. Something like that(I am using bourne
again shell):
export CLICOLOR_FORCE=1
ls -lG / | less -r

The -r option must be used, because less's default behavior is
not to display control characters.

Cheers, NikV
