Less can read .gz compressed files ? (solved)

[cogset]

Just a dumb question,I've seen that less can read my older .gz logfiles just fine,no need to use zless - is this normal ?

See lessfile(1). BTW, this is my ~/.lessfilter

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
*.ttf)
  ftdump -n "$1";;
*.cpio)
  cpio -itv < "$1";;
*.odt)
  odt2txt "$1";;
*.ps)
  pstotext "$1";;
*.md)
  markdown --html4tags "$1" | html2text;;
*)
  exit 1;;
esac
exit 0
