Package: less
Version: 394-4
Severity: normal

Hello,

Trying to read {syslinux,isolinux}.doc files I got a suboptimal answer
from less :

$ less syslinux.doc 
No catdoc available
syslinux.doc (END) 

You can reproduce the pb with the following :
$ echo some_texte_in_a_dummy_file > /tmp/foo.doc
$ less /tmp/foo.doc
No catdoc available
/tmp/foo.doc (END)

cat & more are working correctly on those files.

If less is making assumption on file type through file extensions... it's
improvable.
