Recompress files from .Z to .gz format. More information: <https://manned.org/znew>.

  • Recompress a file from `.Z` to `.gz` format:
    znew path/to/file1.Z
  • Recompress multiple files and display the achieved size reduction % per file:
    znew -v path/to/file1.Z path/to/file2.Z path/to/file3.Z
  • Recompress a file using the slowest compression method (for optimal compression):
    znew -9 path/to/file1.Z
  • Recompress a file, [K]eeping the `.Z` file if it is smaller than the `.gz` file:
    znew -K path/to/file1.Z
