Yes, of course. But zmore is smart enough to figure out what to do with
several compression techniques, or even to handle non-compressed files
very trivially and without hassle.

I've changed my /etc/newsyslog.conf from J to Z simply so that I could
zmore the files rather than pipe the file or dress up an alias named
bmore or similar.
