It looks like we are not using the latest version, but there is a lot of red tape involved to get the software upgraded.

Please do the following: - tell us what version of gzip you're using on your Unix system (--version) - if it's not the latest (gzip-1.4), consider upgrading first - tell us what type of system your using (version, kernel) - attach a sample file and demonstrate the precise commands you use and show the output they produce E.g., $ echo foooooooooooo > k.txt $ gzip --list k.txt.gz : compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name 30 14 114.3% k.txt $ gzip -Nvd k.txt.gz : k.txt.gz: 114.3% -- replaced with k.txt
