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 znew.

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),
     compress(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.
