in thread tracking progress of gzip'd file

Actually, that doesn't quite work because the uncompressed value is shortened:

$ ls -l SG_BSGL01_main_460110220000.log -rw-r--r-- 1 52359 staff 394629763 Feb 10 11:54 SG_BSGL01_main +_460110220000.log $ ls -l SG_BSGL01_main_460110220000.log.gz -rwxrwxrwx 1 52359 staff 75011313 Jan 13 15:43 SG_BSGL01_main_ +460110220000.log.gz $ gzip -l SG_BSGL01_main_460110220000.log.gz compressed uncompr. ratio uncompressed_name 75011313 3486 -57182.0% SG_BSGL01_main_460110220000.log

How do you know what units the size is in?
