    Hello,
    I see that when I run
    # dpkg -l

    I get a nice listing of installed packages, but if I pipe
    that command into less or more or even grep <whatever>,
    then the listing gets scrunched up, and it cuts off the end of packages
    with longer names.
    Is there a way to display it to show the long name? or
    is there a better way to get a partial dpkg -l listing?

    Thanks!
    cheers,
    Mike
