man less

The plus is a option to less:

     +cmd   Causes  the specified cmd to be executed each time a new file is
            examined.  For example, +G causes less to initially display each
            file starting at the end rather than the beginning.

Use:

less -- +DEINSTALL

or

less ./+DEINSTALL
