NAME

6       znew -   recompress .Z files to .gz files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       znew [ -ftv9PK] [ name.Z ...  ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Znew recompresses files from .Z (compress) format to .gz (gzip) format.
13       If you want to recompress a file already in  gzip  format,  rename  the
14       file to force a .Z extension then apply znew.
15

OPTIONS

17       -f     Force  recompression  from  .Z  to .gz format even if a .gz file
18              already exists.
19
20       -t     Tests the new files before deleting originals.
21
22       -v     Verbose. Display the name and percentage reduction for each file
23              compressed.
24
25       -9     Use the slowest compression method (optimal compression).
26
27       -P     Use pipes for the conversion to reduce disk space usage.
28
29       -K     Keep a .Z file when it is smaller than the .gz file; implies -t.

BUGS

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