- does not understand the option '--best', only '-1' ... '-9'. - understands the options '-1' ... '-9' only when compressing, not when
Seems a rather unnecessary incompatibility that some system decided not to support --best in gzip, when it has been available for those same 30 years. Oh well. Here's a proposed fix. It consists in passing '-9' instead of '--best'. Thanks. Looks fine to me, and all the tests still passed. Installed, with a few words in the doc. -k
