NAME
zless - file perusal filter for crt viewing of
compressed text
SYNOPSIS
zless [ name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Zless is a filter which allows
examination of compressed or plain text files one screenful at a
time on a soft-copy terminal. It is the equivalent of setting the
environment variable LESSOPEN to "|gzip -cdfq %s", and then running
less. However, enough people seem to think that having the
command zless available is important to be worth providing
it.
