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.
