Could you please elaborate more about the GNU gzip behavior? By the way I also found some difference between BSD gzip and GNU gzip: touch foo ln -s foo.nonexistent foo.gz gzip foo gzip: could not create output: foo.gz: File exists /usr/local/bin/gzip foo gzip: foo.gz already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? ^C (case 1) echo | /usr/local/bin/gzip foo gzip: foo.gz already exists; not overwritten gzip -f foo gzip: could not create output: foo.gz: File exists /usr/local/bin/gzip -f foo (succeeded; case 2).
