A tip for people who are still using zless: If you have already upgraded your system to hamm, place this line in your .bash_profile: eval $(/usr/bin/lesspipe) /usr/bin/lesspipe is a filter for less that decompresses .gz files and gives you useful information about a lot of other file formats (among which .tar and .deb). Look at the script itself for details. If you have Debian 1.3.X or earlier I can send you this script. It is not large and quite useful. I don't know which version of less is required, but I know it works with the less package in Debian 1.3. Remco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
