NAME
     gzless  -  file perusal filter for crt viewing of compressed
     text

SYNOPSIS
     gzless [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     Gzless 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 the environ-
     ment   variable    LESSMETACHARS    to    '<space><tab><new-
     line>;*?"()<>[|&^`#\$%=~',  and then running less.  However,
     enough people seem to think that having the  command  gzless
     available is important to be worth providing it.

BUGS
     Gzless does not work with compressed data that is  piped  to
     it via standard input; it requires that input files be spec-
     ified as arguments.  To read compressed data  from  a  pipe,
     you can use ...|gunzip|less instead of ...|gzless.
