Heh. While they are separate binaries they are the same thing.

Actually, they are hard links; you can tell from looking at the inode number:

09:46 AM  teridon@gse-g4 ~ # ls -i /usr/bin/zcat
4997789 /usr/bin/zcat*
09:46 AM  teridon@gse-g4 ~ # ls -i /usr/bin/gzip
4997789 /usr/bin/gzip*

To find all the hard links, use find -inum

09:49 AM  teridon@gse-g4 ~ # find /usr/bin -inum 4997789
/usr/bin/gunzip
/usr/bin/gzcat
/usr/bin/gzip
/usr/bin/zcat
