Several commands have been prepared to handle compressed files. The syntax is simply:
> command filename
> scl display a scale and the first ten lines of a file
> zp list a compressed file, one page at a time
> zhd list the first 15 lines of a file
> ztl list the last 15 lines of a file
> zpr print a file with lpr
> wz count the number of lines
> vz uncompress a file and call the vi editor
Note that the suffix ".Z" should not be present. Adding it will produce an error.
