gznew(1)
NAME
gznew - recompress .Z files to .gz files
SYNOPSIS
gznew [ -ftv9PK] [ name.Z ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Gznew recompresses files from .Z (compress) format to .gz
(gzip) format. If you want to recompress a file already in
gzip format, rename the file to force a .Z extension then
apply gznew.
OPTIONS
-f Force recompression from .Z to .gz format even if a .gz
file already exists.
-t Tests the new files before deleting originals.
-v Verbose. Display the name and percentage reduction for
each file compressed.
-9 Use the slowest compression method (optimal compres-
sion).
-P Use pipes for the conversion to reduce disk space
usage.
-K Keep a .Z file when it is smaller than the .gz file

BUGS
Gznew does not maintain the time stamp with the -P option if
cpmod(1) is not available and touch(1) does not support the
-r option.
