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 the environment variable LESSMETACHARS to
-'<space><tab><newline>;*?"()<>[|&^`#\$%=~',
+\&'<space><tab><newline>;*?"()<>[|&^`#\e$%=~',
and then running
.IR less .
However, enough people seem to think that having the
.I Zless
does not work with compressed data that is piped to it via standard
input; it requires that input files be specified as arguments.
+To read compressed data from a pipe, you can use
+.RB ".\|.\|." "|gunzip|less"
+instead of
+.RB ".\|.\|." "|zless" .
