NAME

       zgz - Frankenstein's compressor

SYNOPSIS

       zgz [options] < file > file.gz

DESCRIPTION

       This program is an unholy combination of the BSD gzip program, a modified GNU gzip that
       supports setting an arbitrary file name and timestamp, and an old, rotting version of
       bzip2 that we dug up somewhere at midnight.  Only the bits to do with file compression
       were kept.

       There are many arcane options which aid pristine-gz(1) in re-animating files. Use --help
       to see all the gory details.
