Changes in version 1.4: The option "--format" has been renamed to "-O, --force-format". Option "-M, --format=" now excludes from automatic search the formats not listed in the comma-separated . This change introduces a backward incompatibility with previous versions of zutils. If the pattern begins with "-", zgrep now prepends "-e" before passing it to grep. ('zgrep -- -pattern file' now works as expected). The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress", "install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to the Makefile.
