Synopsis

gzexe [option] [files]

Compress executables. When run, these files automatically uncompress, thus trading time for space. gzexe creates backup files with a tilde at the end (filename˜). These backup files can be deleted once you are sure the compression has worked properly.

Option

Decompress files.
