A tip for people who are still using zless:
If you have already upgraded your system to hamm, place this line in your
.bash_profile:
eval $(/usr/bin/lesspipe)
/usr/bin/lesspipe is a filter for less that decompresses .gz files and
gives you useful information about a lot of other file formats (among
which .tar and .deb). Look at the script itself for details.
If you have Debian 1.3.X or earlier I can send you this script. It is not
large and quite useful. I don't know which version of less is required,
but I know it works with the less package in Debian 1.3.
