less was probably linked to zless, since zless will read un-gzipped files
fine. It's a minor waste of resources, but you can always do:
cd /etc/alternatives; ln -s /usr/bin/zless less

PAGER=less
export LESS LESSOPEN LESSCHARSET PAGER

Hi,
forget zless and the like, standard less can do that and much more
automagically.
The package less provides the program /usr/bin/lesspipe. It sets the
environment variables LESSOPEN and LESSCLOSE, which cause less to
preprocess the file before opening it. This way, you can not only look
at
