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;
implies -t.

BUGS
If the -P option is used, gznew does not maintain the time
stamp if touch(1) does not support the -r option, and does
not maintain permissions if chmod(1) does not support the
--reference option.
