description
Znew
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;
implies -t.
bugs
Znew
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.
