Hi,

I'm using zcat to list the compressed package files in /etc/setup.

zcat has problems with linefeed/carriage return as shown below:

$ zcat /etc/setup/pcre.lst.gz
usr/bin/pcre-config
                   usr/bin/pcregrep.exe
                                       usr/include/pcre.h
                                                         usr/include/pcreposix.h

usr/lib/libpcre.a

usr/lib/libpcreposix.a

usr/man/man
1/pcregrep.1
            usr/man/man3/pcre.3
                               usr/man/man3/pcreposix.3


Additional a zcat --help prints the following:

$ zcat --help
