The gzexe compresses (or decompresses) binary or script executables using gzip.
The output file is a self-uncompressing script containing a small header and a compressed version of the original executable.
Examples
$ gzexe program
compresses program in-place and saves original one in program~,
$ gzexe -d prog
if prog is a compressed executable it is saved to prog~ and uncompressed executable is saved to prog.
