Dear maintainer,
there is an error in the text issued by gzexe when invoked with
gzexe --help
It says "Rename each FILE with a compressed version of itself" ...
It should say "Replace each FILE with a compressed version of itself" ...
In fact it should also explain better what the program does. Something
like
"Replace each FILE (assumed to be executable) by a compressed
version of itself while retaining executability".
As it stands there is no indication that the result of an executable is
still executable, which is of course the whole point.
Version info:
gzexe (gzip) 1.7
Hope this helps,
Mark Roberts
