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	trun-
       cated  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.
