Using the -N options in gzip

[Respass, Clarence (EHQ)]

I zip a file using "Info-ZIP" on a HP-VMS system.  I then use perl to ftp the 
files to a Unix system.  I using gzip with the -N option, but my files are 
always decompressed without the original file extension.

Example:

VMS system:

Archive:  PH$DEVL:[COM]TRYFTP.GZ;1
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
     2082  02-08-2010 11:03   tryftp.txt
---------                     -------
     2082                     1 file

Unix system:

$ gzip -dNv tryftp.gz
tryftp.gz:       50.8% -- replaced with tryftp
