zgrep: -R: option not supported
Can't we make it actually work? It would be very useful. Can't we just
pass -r/-R/--recursive to grep, more or less as is done with the other
options? Would you accept a patch?
Thanks,

But in none of those cases will grep's directory recursion be known
by gzip
Oh yeah, of course. Silly me.
Trying to make zgrep support the entire set of grep's current (and
future) directory recursion capability is involved.
I can't disagree, although I personally have never c
would it be possible to see .tar.bz2 releases of gzip ? not for the
"gzip vs bzip2" debate, but for the case where gzip is broken on a
system :)
That's why there is a plain .tar available (e.g.,
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.3.12.tar). The few extra bytes of
download don't seem t

1) I agree with Bob's analysis that this is likely a problem with the
sunfreeware build, since you specifically said the file is 3gb.
2) But the gzip file format is
If you hadn't heard about 'lzma' yet then it is a good one to note
Perhaps I should mention ...
There are some technical problems with the lzma format -- not the
compression method itself, which is basically zip with different
parameters, but the surrounding scaffolding.

Thanks for the report. There's no reason to give addresses for
individuals in that context, so I removed them.

I just found that the two links http://alpha.gnu.org/gzip/ (404) and
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gzip/ (550) are down.
Please fix this.
I found the first link to be available at http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/
and the second one at ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/.

How about having zgrep first look in its own directory (dirname $0) for
grep before resorting to PATH?
I am a UNIX user. I guess one cannot view the files, say the file
names or the contents of the desired files inside a gzipped file
without extracting it. So, can we try on it?
You imply that gzip is like zip, i.e., an archive of files. This is not
the case. It is merely a compressio
The above-quoted advice in maintain.texi
A big part of why this so-incredibly-annoying issue never goes away,
IMHO, is that that node in maintain.texi has accreted over decades of
different advice and scenarios, never clearly distinguishing between
them. Sigh.
Since gunzip is a visually

I'll ask Aaron about your change and see if I get a reply. It makes

Please make gzip releases in some non-gzip/xz/lzip/bzip form, that is,

I and a colleague just had to waste time explaining to a user how to

to install the new version. (No, evidently he had no binary. W
