You can put one of the following two commands in your login script
(e.g. ~/.bash_profile):
eval "$(lessfile)"
or
eval "$(lesspipe)"
Then you can you just use less for reading zipped, tarred, .deb and
various other files. See 'man lessfile'. It's part of the less
package. It doesn't affect cat and grep.
