zmore -- Command

Display compressed text one page at a time
zmore [ -cdflsu ] [ -window_size ] [ +line_number ] [ +/pattern ] [ file ... ] [ - ]

The command  zmore is a filter  for paging through text  one screenful at a
time.  file is  a text file; the operator -  tells more to read and display
the standard input.

Unlike  the command  more,  zmore can  display the  contents of  compressed
files.  It works on files compressed with the commands compress or gzip, as
well as  on files  that are  uncompressed.  If it  cannot find  file, zmore
looks for a file of the  same name that has any of the suffices .gz, .z, or
.Z.

zmore recognizes the same  command-line options as more, and recognizes the
same commands.  For details, see the Lexicon entry for more.
