<h2>Description</h2>

<p>GZIPEXE defines the pathname of the <em>gzip</em> executable.
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>Default Setting</h2>

<p><tt>gzip</tt>
</p>

<!-- *************************************************************** -->

<h2>Resource Variables</h2>

<p>N/A
</p>

<!-- *************************************************************** -->
<hr>
<h2>Examples</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.  Therefore,
you do not have to manually ungzip the mailbox first or use a
pipe to decompress the data before passing it to MHonArc.
</p>
