[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,

I noticed that with gzip when using both the -v and -k options, the
associated wording doesn't correctly reflect the action of the -k (keep)
option.

I've attached a trivial patch (against gzip 1.6) to correctly
distinguish between having this option set or not.

Thanks

Thanks, Paul.
I tweaked NEWS so that it no longer triggers a "make syntax-check" failure.
