Losing ownership with gzip
I'm trying to sell the use of gzip instead of compress in our department. One issue I'm having (which is a showstopper) is that I lose the ownership when gzipping and gunzipping, though it's mentioned all over the web that files are supposed to keep ownership.
Example:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ms32345 staff 2847 May 01 09:14 Do_Peyton_pd_Queries.ss
gzip -9f Do_Peyton_pd_Queries.ss
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ad87398 staff 1370 May 01 09:14 Do_Peyton_pd_Queries.ss.gz
Is there something I'm missing? We need to keep ownership for auditing purposes.

time Specifies the timestamp that indicates when the selection ownership should commence or is to be relinquished.
w Specifies the widget that wishes to become the owner or to relinquish ownership.
Description
The function informs the Intrinsics selection mechanism that a widget believes it owns a selection. It returns if the widget has success-
fully become the owner and otherwise. The widget may fail to become the owner if some other widget has asserted ownership at a time later
than this widget. Note that widgets can lose selection ownership either because someone else asserted later ownership of the selection or
because the widget voluntarily gave up ownership of the selection. Also note that the lose_selection procedure is not called if the widget
fails to obtain selection ownership in the first place.
The function informs the Intrinsics selection mechanism that the specified widget is to lose ownership of the selection. If the widget
does not currently own the selection either because it lost the selection or because it never had the selection to begin with, does noth-
ing.
After a widget has called its convert procedure is not called even if a request arrives later with a timestamp during the period that this
widget owned the selection. However, its done procedure will be called if a conversion that started before the call to finishes after the
call to
