I zip a file using "Info-ZIP" on a HP-VMS system. I then use perl to ftp the
files to a Unix system. I using gzip with the -N option, but my files are
always decompressed without the original file extension.
Example:
VMS system:
Archive: PH$DEVL:[COM]TRYFTP.GZ;1
Length Date Time Name
--------- ---------- ----- ----
2082 02-08-2010 11:03 tryftp.txt
--------- -------
2082 1 file
Unix system:
$ gzip -dNv tryftp.gz
tryftp.gz: 50.8% -- replaced with tryftp
