.SH DESCRIPTION 
The main purpose of this utility is to recompress the
data present in the .png, .mng, .gz, .tgz and .svgz
files.
.PP
The internal structure of the files isn\(cqt changed.
Only the compressed data is modified.
.SH OPTIONS 
.TP
.B \(hyz, \(hy\(hyrecompress FILES...
Recompress the specified files. If the \(hy1, \(hy2, \(hy3, \(hy4
options are specified it\(cqs used the smallest file
choice from the previous compressed data and the
new compression. If the \(hy0 option is specified the
file is always rewritten without any compression.
.TP
.B \(hy0, \(hy\(hyshrink\(hystore
Disable the compression. The file is
only stored and not compressed. The file is always
rewritten also if it\(cqs bigger.
.TP
.B \(hy1, \(hy\(hyshrink\(hyfast
Set the compression level to \(a"fast\(a".
.TP
.B \(hy2, \(hy\(hyshrink\(hynormal
Set the compression level to \(a"normal\(a". This is the
default level of compression.
.TP
.B \(hy3, \(hy\(hyshrink\(hyextra
Set the compression level to \(a"extra\(a".
.TP
.B \(hy4, \(hy\(hyshrink\(hyinsane
Set the compression level to \(a"insane\(a". It\(cqs VERY
SLOW.
.TP
.B \(hyf, \(hy\(hyforce
Force the use of the new file also if it\(cqs bigger.
.SH LIMITATIONS 
The advdef program cannot be used to recompress huge files
because it needs to allocate memory for both the complete
compressed and uncompressed data.
