gzip all the files in a directory

Hi,

There are multiple files in a directory with different names.How can they be gzipped such that the timestamp of the files is not changed.

from the man page:

       By default, gzip keeps the original file name and timestamp in the com-
       pressed	file.

do you have a different scenario / requirement?

Got that resolved.It was a differenct scenario.
Thanks anyways.
