Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How do I send a file as an attachment (gzip file) on a Unix system Post 23990 by RTM on Wednesday 3rd of July 2002 01:04:10 PM

It is probably a version problem between gzip and winzip.

I first sent a gzipped file to NT and tried to open it. I used gzip version 1.2.4 (very old Aug 93) and WinZip 7.0. WinZip didn't want to look at the file - gave me an option to use WinZip classic which did open the gzipped file.

I then used the commands found in the different questions answered in the past about mailing attachments. I mailed the gz file which showed up as an attachment in Outlook. I saved it to disk, opened up WinZip (used classic) and it worked fine.

Command used:
uuencode messages.0.gz newmess.txt |mailx -s"test" myself@mydomain.com

LEARN ABOUT FREEBSD

znew

ZNEW(1) 						    BSD General Commands Manual 						   ZNEW(1)

NAME

     znew -- convert compressed files to gzipped files

SYNOPSIS

     znew [-ftv9K] file ...

DESCRIPTION

     The znew utility uncompresses files compressed by compress(1) and recompresses them with gzip(1).

     The options are as follows:

     -f      Overwrite existing '.gz' files.  Unless this option is specified, znew refuses to overwrite existing files.

     -t      Test integrity of the gzipped file before deleting the original file.  If the integrity check fails, the original '.Z' file is not
	     removed.

     -v      Print a report specifying the achieved compression ratios.

     -9      Use the -9 mode of gzip(1), achieving better compression at the cost of slower execution.

     -K      Keep the original '.Z' file if it uses less disk blocks than the gzipped one.  A disk block is 1024 bytes.

SEE ALSO

     gzip(1)

CAVEATS

     The znew utility tries to maintain the file mode of the original file.  If the original file is not writable, it is not able to do that and
     znew will print a warning.
