*****************************************************************************
Major changes in Gzip 1.3.12 (2007-04-13)
* znew now uses $TMPDIR (default /tmp) instead of always using /tmp.
Major changes in Gzip 1.3.11 (2007-02-05)
* As per the GNU coding standards, the behavior of gzip and its
companion executables no longer depend on the name used to invoke them.
For example, 'gzip' and 'gunzip' are no longer hard links;
instead, 'gunzip' is now a small program that invokes 'gzip -d'.
* zdiff now checks for subsidiary gzip failures, and works around
bugs in IRIX 6 sh, Tru64 4.0F ksh, and Solaris 8 bash.
Major changes in Gzip 1.3.10 (2006-12-30)
* gzip -c and zcat now work on special files, files with special mode bits,
and files with multiple hard links.
* gzip -q now exits with status 2 (not 1) when SIGPIPE is received.
* zcmp and zdiff did not work in the usual case, due to a typo.
* zgrep has many bugs fixed with argument handling, special characters,
and exit status.
* zless no longer mishandles $%=~ in file names.
