Also read /usr/doc/less/LESSOPEN.gz. Basically just add the following
to your shell init script(.profile,.login, etc):
eval `/usr/bin/lesspipe`
And less by itself will read gzipped and bziped files as well as show
contents of tar, deb, arj, rpm and many others as well as info on
graphics files, which you can define by editing the /usr/bin/lesspipe.
Examples:
% less debianlogo-5.jpg
debianlogo-5.jpg 65x78 DirectClass 2951b JPEG 1s
% less /tmp/hello_1.3-14.3.deb
/tmp/hello_1.3-14.3.deb:

Description: The classic greeting, and a good example
The GNU hello program produces a familiar, friendly greeting. It
allows nonprogrammers to use a classic computer science tool which
would otherwise be unavailable to them.
.
Seriously, though: this is an example of how to do a Debian package.
It is the Debian version of the GNU Project's `hello world' program
(which is itself an example for the GNU Project).
