Hi Paul:

Thanks for your quick reply. I apply 0001-zdiff-fix-arg-handling-bug.patch at the latest gzip code(commit 2b281564e142c68acbdc) and test the problem.

This patch can fix options with argument(e.g zdiff -C 5). This patch did an interesting job to identify zidff options with argument([CDFISUWXx]), this case put option argument into cmp="$cmp '$2'". At last, cmp="$cmp --" separate options and filename arguments.

However this manual separation job can not handle filename before options.
zdiff -i -W 200 -U 5 a.gz b.gz

/root/community/gzip/zdiff: line 75: -i: No such file or directory

getopt command from util-linux can handle such situation. getopt can separate arguments and options by "--", even though arguments are before options.

Please add me when you reply this thread, so I can join this thread discuss easily.
