Subject: Re: one question about gzip
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

Why?
Unless you have violated the usual naming conventions and bar.gz
has not already been gzipped, which is just plain confusing and will
eventually bite someone when they are confused.
Compressing a compressed file doesn't work. The file will probably
increase in size.
gunzipping the file then using a better compression program such a bzip
would probably be useful. but might not be worth the trouble unless the
uncompressed file is really big.

I have a file foo, I to gzip it.
by using
"gzip foo"
It will get a file called foo.gz
but i want a compress file named bar.gz
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks
