>Description:

The compress(1) manual documents the command "zcat" which is better
documented by the zcat(1) manual and which doesn't belong in this manual.

The given description is wrong in any case because "zcat" doesn't insist
that the filename end with ".Z" as "uncompress -c" does.

>How-To-Repeat:

================
>Fix:

Remove all mention of "zcat" (four places) and add zcat(1) to the "See
Also" section.  Maybe also mention it in the description of "-c".
