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 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 gzless available is important to be worth providing it.

SEE ALSO
