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

SYNOPSIS
     gzforce [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     gzforce 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  sys-
     tems  with  a 14 char limitation on file names, the original
     name is truncated to make room for the .gz suffix. For exam-
     ple,  12345678901234  is  renamed  to 12345678901.gz. A file
     name such as foo.tgz is left intact.
