Dear Paul,

Have you found a solution that satisfies you?

Something like that, yes, but it's not clear that's exactly
right, from the gzip point of view.  There are many scripts:
why pick just those four?  Here's the complete list:

gunzip              zcat  zdiff   zfgrep  zgrep  zmore
gzexe   uncompress  zcmp  zegrep  zforce  zless  znew

Obviously some scripts, like gunzip and gzexe, should stay with gzip.

If it makes sense to implement the function of any other script in zutils, I'll happily do so.

Currently all that is needed for the coexistence of gzip and zutils is that zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep, zegrep, and zfgrep are disabled or renamed (conditionally or unconditionally) in gzip.


Best regards,
Antonio.
