Which package to pipe to gz automatically?

[Silvan <dmmcintyr@users.sourceforge.net>]

I used to be able to, for example

	less README.gz

Something was set up somewhere to automagically substitute

	gunzip -c README.gz|less

for this.  I don't *think* it's anything I set up for myself.  I have the word 
"lesspipe" in my head as the way I set this up, but I'm not apt-caching up 
anything that looks encouraging.

Is there some package that provides this automagically?  Am I just losing my 
mind?
