ZFORCE(1)                 User Commands                 ZFORCE(1)



NAME
     zforce - force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files

SYNOPSIS
     zforce [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     _z_f_o_r_c_e forces a .gz extension on all _g_z_i_p files so that _g_z_i_p
     will  not compress them twice.  This can be useful for files
     with names truncated after a file transfer.  On systems with
     a  14  char  limitation  on file names, the original name is
     truncated to make room for  the  .gz  suffix.  For  example,
     12345678901234  is  renamed  to  12345678901.gz. A file name
     such as foo.tgz is left intact.
