    _______________________________________________________

Details:

unpack hangs if the output file exists.


x = pi;
save foo x
gzip foo
unpack foo.gz


Only after pressing another return I get

error: unpack: unarchiving program exited with status: 2
gzip: /tmp/oct-qxMHrG/foo already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)?
        not overwritten

Similarly for gunzip, ...

Moreover, when gzipping a file, the file itself is not deleted, whereas when
gunzipping a file, that file is deleted.
