+.TH z 1 "18 February 1999" "Edgeware tools"
+.SH NAME
+z \- run shell commands on compressed files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B z
+.I command
+.RI [ arguments ...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B z
+script examines the shell command passed to it for filenames which look
+as if they're compressed files.  For each one that it finds, it
+decompresses the file into a temporary place, and replaces the
+compressed file's name in the command line with the name of the
+decompressed version.  When the command terminates,
+.B z
+deletes the decompressed files and exits.
+.SH BUGS
+The
+.B z
+program is a very simple
+.B bash
+shell script.  As a result there are a number of limitations:
+.PP
+Changes made to the temporary decompressed files are ignored: the
+original is left unchanged.
+.PP
+Nonexistent files cause errors to be reported.
+.PP
+The decompressed versions of files are always created with default
+owner, group and permissions (as set by the current euid, egid and umask
+settings).
