Yes, zless it quite handy. There's also a bzless, bzcat set for bzipped
files, also.
/usr/share/doc/<packagename> is quite useful, especially if it's a
question about packaging. If I'm not mistaken, it's a Debian Policy
requirement that a package provides this directory, and, again, I'm not
100% positive, but that it also includes a changelog.Debian file.
Also, there is sometimes a quite extensive addition to the documentation
found here, too. And iptables is one of them - check out the stuff in
the html directory. Point your browser at
/usr/share/doc/html/<either of the files with no number>.
