NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       zforce [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       zforce  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.
