 .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 LESSOPEN to "|gzip -cdfq -- %s",
+setting the environment variable LESSOPEN to '|gzip -cdfq -- %s',
+and the environment variable LESSMETACHARS to
+"'<space><tab><newline>;*?"()<>[|&^`#\\$%=~'",
 and then running
 .IR less .
-However, enough people seem to think that having the
-command
-.I zless
-available is important to be worth providing it.
-
-Note that zless does not work with files piped to it on stdin, it only works
-with files specified as arguments.  If you really want to use less in a pipe,
-then do the uncompress explicitly and pipe to less instead of zless.
+.I Less
+now provides similar, and more flexible, functionality through the
+.I lessfile
+and
+.I lesspipe
+filters.

 .I Zless
 does not work with compressed data that is piped to it via standard
 input; it requires that input files be specified as arguments.

+then do the uncompress explicitly and pipe to less instead of using zless.
