MHonArc automatically invokes gzip to decompress files with a "<strong><tt>.gz</tt></strong>" extension. Gzip is also invoked for compressing files when the <a href="gzipfiles.html">GZIPFILES</a> resource is set. </p> <p>If the value of GZIPEXE is not an absolute pathname, then gzip should exist in your search path. </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2><a name="default">Default Setting</a></h2> <p><tt>gzip</tt> </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2><a name="rcvars">Resource Variables</a></h2> <p>N/A </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2><a name="examples">Examples</a></h2> <p>This example is not specific to GZIPEXE, but the following sample invocation: </p> <pre> % <b>mhonarc mailbox.gz</b> </pre> <p>can be done if MHonArc is able to invoke gzip.
