Recompress .Z files to .gz files
zznneeww [[ --ffttvv99PPKK ]] [[ _f_i_l_e..ZZ ...... ]]
The command znew recompresses files from
.Z (ccoommpprreessss) format to
.gz (ggzziipp) format.
znew recognizes the following command-line
options:
- --99
- Use the slowest, most thorough compression method.
- --ff
- Force recompression of file even if
file.gz already exists.
- --KK
- Keep a .Z file when it is smaller than
the .gz file.
- --PP
- Use pipes for the conversion to reduce disk space
usage.
- --tt
- Test the new files before deleting the originals.
- --vv
- Verbose mode: display the name and percent by which the
size of each recompressed is reduced.

Notes
To recompress a file already in gzip
format, rename the file to replace the suffix
.gz with the suffix .Z, and
then invoke znew.
A
znew does not maintain the time stamp if
you invoke it with command-line option -P.
