Probably the best thing to do would be to just incorporate the functionality in the less package. zless works with uncompressed files and is well known to work that way. I'm sure that lots of people run "zless *" without regard to whether there are compressed or uncompressed files in the directory. Having zless and less do the same thing and support a wide variety of compression methods would be ideal. It's not as if anyone would use less to view the binary contents of a gzip data stream. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
