dos2unix did not help

Thank you blowtorch for the suggestion. I tried dos2unix on the .gz files, and it did produce smaller files. But they were still unacceptable to gunzip. I guess it would only take one "legitimate" occurance of the byte pair 0D0A in the .gz file to make the approach I am taking not work, because dos2unix would replace it with 0A (I think). I would want that to happen most of the time, but not if the original 0D0A were in the original good .gz file.

I appreciate your help, though. You provided information that I had already wanted to try, but I didn't know the name dos2unix.

Since I can extract a few of my original files from the corrupted .gz files, I will keep them around. At this point I think I need to learn more about how .gz files are organized, and about how gunzip works.

(My files contain several million newsfeed blurbs related to over 8,000 topics. They represent a form of current events history, so I really want them back. But, at the same time, there is no real rush. )

Thanks again for your suggestion.

qmove

qmove(1B)								PBS								 qmove(1B)

NAME

       qmove - move pbs batch job

SYNOPSIS

       qmove destination job_identifier ...

DESCRIPTION

       To move a job is to remove the job from the queue in which it resides and instantiate the job in another queue.	The qmove command issues a
       Move Job batch request to the batch server that currently owns each job specified by job_identifier.

       A job in the Running , Transiting , or Exiting state cannot be moved.

OPERANDS

       The first operand is the new destinationfor
	   queue
	   @server
	   queue@server
       See the PBS ERS section , "Destination Identifiers".

       If the destination operand describes only a queue, then qmove will move jobs into the queue of the specified  name  at  the  job's  current
       server.

       If the destination operand describes only a batch server, then qmove will move jobs into the default queue at that batch server.

       If  the destination operand describes both a queue and a batch server, then qmove will move the jobs into the specified queue at the speci-
       fied server.

       All following operands are job_identifiers which specify the jobs to be moved to the new destination.  The qmove  command  accepts  one	or
       more job_identifier operands of the form:
	   sequence_number[.server_name][@server]

STANDARD ERROR

       The qmove command will write a diagnostic messages to standard error for each error occurrence.

EXIT STATUS

       Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qmove command, the exit status will be a value of zero.

       If the qmove command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
