+.SH NAME
+Zcat \- manual page for Zcat 0.2
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B zcat
+[\fIOPTIONS\fR] [\fICAT_OPTIONS\fR] [\fIFILES\fR]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Zcat \- Cat wrapper for compressed files.
+.PP
+Zcat is a wrapper script around the cat command that allows
+transparent concatenation of any combination of compressed and
+non\-compressed files. If any given file is compressed, its uncompressed
+content is used. If a given file does not exist, zcat tries the
+compressed file name corresponding to the default compressor selected.
+The supported compressors are gzip, bzip2, lzip and xz.
+.PP
+CAT_OPTIONS are passed directly to cat.
+The exit status from cat is preserved.
