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 PAGER to less, and then running zmore.  However, enough people seem to think that having the
       command zless available is important to be worth providing it.
