`znew {{path/to/file1.Z}}`
- Recompress multiple files and display the achieved size reduction % per file:
`znew -v {{path/to/file1.Z}} {{path/to/file2.Z}} {{path/to/file3.Z}}`
- Recompress a file using the slowest compression method (for optimal compression):
`znew -9 {{path/to/file1.Z}}`
- Recompress a file, [K]eeping the `.Z` file if it is smaller than the `.gz` file:
`znew -K {{path/to/file1.Z}}`
