ZFORCE(1)		     General Commands Manual		       ZFORCE(1)

NAME
     zforce -- force gzip files to have a .gz suffix

SYNOPSIS
     zforce file ...

DESCRIPTION
     The  zforce  utility  renames gzip(1) files to have a `.gz' suffix, so that
     gzip(1) will not compress them twice.  This can be  useful  if  file  names
     were  truncated during a file transfer.  Files that have an existing `.gz',
     `-gz', `_gz', `.tgz' or `.taz' suffix, or that have not been compressed  by
     gzip(1), are ignored.

SEE ALSO
     gzip(1)

CAVEATS
     zforce overwrites existing files without warning.
