file to force a .Z extension then apply znew.

- already exists.
- -t Tests the new files before deleting originals.
- -v Verbose. Display the name and percentage reduction for each file
- compressed.
- -9 Use the slowest compression method (optimal compression).
- -P Use pipes for the conversion to reduce disk space usage.
- -K Keep a .Z file when it is smaller than the .gz file
