If the file isn't really compressed you can always use just less(1) on it: % less filename.ascii If it is compressed (as the docs of /usr/share/doc usually are), I tend to prefer something from the commands shown below: % zmore filename.ascii.gz % zcat filename.ascii.gz | less % gzip -cd filename.ascii.gz | less All these are roughly equivalent to each other.
