Hello…

We’re receiving Gzip files from an AIX7.1 Server running Gzip ver.3.0. Our version is 1.3.12 (subject line) and we’re unable to unzip them. The only way we’re able to decompress the file for processing is to use 7zip, then, re-zip using our 1.3.12 version. This is necessary as part of an automated script to process data files (requirement that the data files be zipped). Do we need to upgrade our version? And if so… will the upgraded version of Gzip be backwards compatible?

Information on Gzip 3.0 appears to be lacking… or, I’m not looking in the right place. Would you be able to provide additional information?

Thanks in advance.
