debian - reading .gz files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
On my slackware box I can read .gz files in less like this:
less readme.debian.gz

When I do this on my debian sarge setup I get the compressed file. The work
around is to do something like
gzip -cd readme.debian.gz |less which unzips the file and pipes it into
less.  

Do I need to install something to get this to work without the workaround?
