NAME
znew—Recompress Z files to GZ files
SYNOPSIS
znew [ -ftv9PK] [ name.Z … ]
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
| Option | Description |
| -f | Force recompression from Z to GZ format even if a GZ file already exists. |
| -t | Test 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. |
