Please, test it and report any bugs you find.
Zutils is a collection of utilities able to process any combination of
compressed and uncompressed files transparently. If any given file,
including standard input, is compressed, its decompressed content is
used. Compressed files are decompressed on the fly; no temporary files
are created.
These utilities are not wrapper scripts but safer and more efficient C++
programs. In particular the "--recursive" option is very efficient in
those utilities supporting it.
The provided utilities are zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep, ztest and zupdate.
The supported formats are bzip2, gzip, lzip and xz.
Zutils uses external compressors. The compressor to be used for each
format is configurable at runtime.
zcat, zcmp, zdiff, and zgrep are improved replacements for the shell
scripts provided by GNU gzip. ztest is unique to zutils. zupdate is
similar to gzip's znew.

Changes in this version:
* zgrep now passes the '--color' option to grep. (But it only works
if the grep program used supports it).
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, zutils author and maintainer.

If you are distributing software in xz format, please consider using
lzip instead. See http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/xz_inadequate.html ,
