I have hundreds of ".Z" files that I need to uncompress and gzip. I'm not sure how to handle this in a 'for loop'. I can get the uncompress part, but I'm not sure how to strip the .Z off the filename for the gzip step. Is it possible to pipe the output of uncompress to gzip?

gzforce
GZFORCE(1) General Commands Manual GZFORCE(1)
NAME
gzforce - force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files
SYNOPSIS
gzforce [ name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
gzforce forces a .gz extension on all gzip files so that gzip will not compress them twice. This can be useful for files with names trun-
cated after a file transfer. On systems with a 14 char limitation on file names, the original name is truncated to make room for the .gz
suffix. For example, 12345678901234 is renamed to 12345678901.gz. A file name such as foo.tgz is left intact.
