gunzip question
unzip test.zip ==> This uncompresses and keeps the original zip file.

gunzip test.gz ==> Removes the .gz file after uncompressing.
Is there any switch to make the .gz file available after uncompression.

Thanx in advance.

what about this tweak..?

Code:
gunzip -c file.gz >file

I have multiple files in the gz file... I guess this may work foronly if the gz has single file.

Thanks for the reply.
