GZNEW(1)							      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) for‐
       mat.  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 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

SEE ALSO
       gzip(1),	 gzmore(1),  gzdiff(1),	 gzgrep(1), gzforce(1), gzexe(1), com‐
       press(1)

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.
