Please read the zlibc documentation (info, html) to learn how to use zlibc.
Basically, all you need to do is:
for sh/bash/ksh/zsh:
LD_PRELOAD=uncompress.so
export
for csh/tcsh:
setenv LD_PRELOAD uncompress.so
FWIW, this source uses arch-independent asm to do the magic. The source should
compile on any Linux box (of any supported architecture) with a new enough
glibc.
