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 LESOPEN 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.
