RE: File encryption and compression tool - Help

["Das, Arijit \(GE Healthcare\)" <Arijit.Das@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi....Is it possible to use the "gpg" command anyway to directly display the contents of the "filename.gpg" file without creating any temporary file? Someting like cat which reads (here I am looking at read, decrypt and decompress which is normally done by gpg filename.gpg command. But this command creates a file in the file system which I cannot do) the file and displays it. 

Thanks
