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.
