Alternatively, just use zless for gzipped files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 269 Hamilton Hall, CB#3210, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3210 USA On Tue, 19 Feb 2002, Raffaele Sandrini wrote: > Hi > > On my earlier SuSE system "less" was able to read gzipped text files.
