#
# zsh function script to run less on various inputs, decompressing as required.
# Author: Phil Pennock.  zsh-hacks@athenaeum.demon.co.uk
# Modified by Bart Schaefer.
# Thanks to zefram@fysh.org for a great deal of help in sorting this out,
# ie wrt syntax for unsetting members of arrays and eval "$(...)" when I
# asked for something better than . =(...)
#
# Use -zforce to pass through a display-formatting command
#  zless -zforce 'bzip2 -dc' foo-no-dotbz2
#  zless -zforce 'od -hc' foo-binfile
#
# If you can understand all of this without reference to zshexpn(1)
# and zshparam(1) then you either have a photographic memory or you
# need to get out more.
