Sorry for bad English. I was trying to compress file foo and store it in file named bar.gz ( I was not trying to compress a compressed file). the command "gzip foo" will give the file a name foo.gz defaultly. Is there a command by using which I can redirect the output compressed file to bar.gz ( not foo.gz) Thanks
