Have a file named, /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz
How do I access and read this file?
gunzip /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz
and then open de file created.
apt-get install less
instead of unpacking the file.. do:
zless /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz
Actually, as long as lesspipe/lessopen is set up, you don't even need that
"z" on the front, so long as the filename ends in .gz .
'less' for me at least, will open gz'd files, even let me see a list of
what's stored inside tgz's and tar.gz's, and same for arj's, deb's, shows
me info about an image in a number of image formats, lzh's, it can view
pdf's as text, rar's, rpm's, jar's, zip's, and zoo's, and a few others I
skipped over for brevity.
