ZFORCE(1)		     General Commands Manual		       ZFORCE(1)

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

SYNOPSIS
     zforce [ name ...	]

DESCRIPTION
     The  zforce  command  forces a .gz extension on all gzip files so that gzip
     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.
