before and it did not work. That is why I strayed the whole topic. Now it
works, so thats OK. There is a problem though: $ echo a > a.txt; echo b

gzip | sh gzip: c: No such file or directory gzip: with: No such file or
directory gzip: spaces.txt: No such file or directory If user checks his
command line, and decided to use it as a script, whether through or script,
then it is going tip have problem with spaces in names.
