As I've said in my prvious email, the first version to include this was 1.6 IIRC. The commit adding it is here[1]. But yeah, it was not added 20 years ago, and it seems there are systems with such old versions of gzip (although can probably update? Don't know much about mac) :-( [1]: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gzip.git/commit/?id=0192f02e26ac9fa0a27ed177263ee3ea73d5e95c
