usage="Usage: $0 [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Recompress files from .Z (compress) format to .gz (gzip) format.

Options:

-f     Force recompression even if a .gz file already exists.
  -t     Test the new files before deleting originals.
  -v     Verbose; display name and statistics 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; implies -t.
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

Report bugs to <bug-gzip@gnu.org>."
