try : /bin/zcat or gzcat
analog's help file comcerning logfile :
*********************
It is often convenient to store logfiles compressed to save disk space.
Analog on the Mac can read logfiles compressed using gzip. And analog on
Unix and Win32 can read compressed logfiles provided that you use an
UNCOMPRESS command to say how to uncompress them. You need to supply the
types of file that you want to uncompress in a comma-separated list,
together with the name of a command that will uncompress the files to
standard output (rather than to a file). For example, on Unix you might use
UNCOMPRESS *.gz,*.Z /usr/bin/gzcat
whereas on Windows NT, you might use
UNCOMPRESS *.gz ("c:\Program Files\gzip\gzip" -cd)
