You don't need a separate command for that one.
If you Read The Fine Man page, you'll see that less can use an
external program to preprocess the files it reads. So I do this
in .cshrc.
setenv LESSOPEN "|/home/kbob/lib/lesspipe.sh %s"
Then lesspipe.sh looks like this.
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
*.Z) uncompress -c "$1"
;;
*.z) gzip -d < "$1"
;;
*.gz) gzip -d < "$1"
;;
*.bz2) bzip2 -cd "$1" 2> /dev/null
;;
*) cat "$1" 2> /dev/null
;;
esac
That way, compressed, gzipped, and bzip2'd files are automatically
expanded.
