bug#32824: Gzip 1.3.12

[Coleman, Patrick EX1]

Hello...

We're receiving Gzip files from an AIX7.1 Server running Gzip ver.3.0.  Our 
version is 1.3.12 (subject line) and we're unable to unzip them.  The only way 
we're able to decompress the file for processing is to use 7zip, then, re-zip 
using our 1.3.12 version.  This is necessary as part of an automated script to 
process data files (requirement that the data files be zipped).  Do we need to 
upgrade our version?  And if so... will the upgraded version of Gzip be 
backwards compatible?

Information on Gzip 3.0 appears to be lacking... or, I'm not looking in the 
right place.  Would you be able to provide additional information?

Thanks in advance.
