ZLESS(1)                 USER COMMANDS                   ZLESS(1)

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 ter-
     minal.  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.
