[vox-tech] reading gzip'd files inline

[Peter Jay Salzman]

question:

given
        doc.txt.gz
        doc.ps.gz

how do i read these file in line?   i've tried:

        gzip -d -c doc.txt.gz | vi
        gzip -d -c doc.ps.gz | gv

but neither vim nor gv like getting data from stdin.  vim complains about no
controlling tty and gv just displays nothing.

thanks!
p
