GZIP ZNEW AND COMPRESS

In HP Unix "compress" command will compress 
around 50 to 60%.  "gzip" will compress the 
file upto 80%. There is a command available
in HP's unix to convert a compress file to 
a zip file. "znew" will automatically 
convert compressed files(*.Z) to gunzip 
files(*.gz).

Example:
$ znew test.Z
