It looks like we are not using the latest version, but there is a lot of red
tape involved to get the software upgraded.
gzip 1.3.5 (HP-UX fixlevel 1)

Please do the following:
- tell us what version of gzip you're using on your Unix system (--version)
- if it's not the latest (gzip-1.4), consider upgrading first
- tell us what type of system your using (version, kernel)
- attach a sample file and demonstrate the precise commands you use
and show the output they produce
E.g.,
$ echo foooooooooooo > k.txt
$ gzip --list k.txt.gz
:
compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name
30 14 114.3% k.txt
$ gzip -Nvd k.txt.gz
:
k.txt.gz: 114.3% -- replaced with k.txt
