       _Z_n_e_w  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.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       --ff     Force recompression from .Z to .gz format even if a
              .gz file already exists.

       --tt     Tests the new files before deleting originals.

       --vv     Verbose.  Display the name and percentage reduction
              for each file compressed.

       --99     Use the slowest compression  method  (optimal  com-
              pression).

       --PP     Use  pipes  for the conversion to reduce disk space
              usage.

       --KK     Keep a .Z file when it is smaller than the .gz file

       _Z_n_e_w does not maintain the time stamp with the  -P  option
       if _c_p_m_o_d_(_1_) is not available and _t_o_u_c_h_(_1_) does not support
       the -r option.
