Worked. Thank you!
FFS. The gzip folks are back to this hubris? When it first came out they
tried to usurp the .Z (compress) file extension unstead of using a
nonrude '.gz' as they were quickly convinced to.
Please use "gzcat"; "zcat" is for compress/uncompress and if your
vendor's installing gzcat as zcat they need a fresh complaint.
Also, for future reference, gunzip behaves as a filter if you don't
supply a filename. So:
gunzip < thing.dd.gz | dd ...
and no zcat/gzcat special command usage required.
