        !             9: .I  gzexe
        !            10: utility allows you to compress executables in place and have them
        !            11: automatically uncompress and execute when you run them (at a penalty
        !            12: in performance).  For example if you execute ``gzexe /bin/cat'' it
        !            13: will create the following two files:
        !            14: .nf
        !            15: .br
        !            16:     -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  bin   9644 Feb 11 11:16 /bin/cat
        !            17:     -r-xr-xr-x  1 bin   bin  24576 Nov 23 13:21 /bin/cat~
        !            18: .fi

        !            20: executable file.  You can remove /bin/cat~ once you are sure that
        !            21: /bin/cat works properly.
        !            22: .PP
        !            23: This utility is most useful on systems with very small disks.
