+.TH ZLESS 1
+.SH NAME
+zless \- file perusal filter for crt viewing of compressed text
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B zless
+[ name ... ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Zless
+is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text files
+one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal. It is the equivalent of
+setting the environment variable PAGER to
+.I less,
+and then running zmore. However, enough people seem to think that having the
+command
+.I zless
+available is important to be worth providing it.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+zmore(1), less(1)
