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.
