DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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	znew.

	  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 compression).

     -P	  Use pipes for	the conversion to reduce disk space usage.

     -K	  Keep a .Z file when it is smaller than the .gz file
