This gives you the same gzip as before, because you don't have the current directory "." in your PATH (or at least you shouldn't). You would need to say "./gzip -V" or simply "/bin/gzip -V" and "/sw/bin/gzip -V" from anywhere. Also "where gzip" (in tcsh) or "type -a gzip" (in bash) shows you all gzip executables in your PATH.
