gunzip to a different destination than it's source.

Ok, I give up, I've checked on google and I can't find the right way of doing this on HP-UX, someone please make it simple for me.

Thanks.

Hi,

try 'gzcat yourfile.gz > /somewherelse/yourfile'

On HP you should have gzcat in /usr/contrib/bin.

You can also do:

# gunzip < /dir/file.gz > /otherdir/file

gunzip

That does not work.

Ed.
try gzip -d filename.gz >/newdir/filename
I tried this on 11.11 and worked ok.
