[comp.sys.amiga] "Z" decompression etc.

	WARNING!!!  THIS IS A FIRST POST.  ....  and it's after 1 a.m.

Hi There:

AN ENQUIRY

1.	What compressed format are files with the "*.Z" suffix? And where can I
	get (in the ftp context) a decompression program from (for Amiga pref.
	but PC MsDos or Pyramid Unix O.K.)?

2.	I have been getting the "Battery Backed Clock not found" message on
	boot-up (in response to setclock) on my A2000 which does
	not have a separate clock card (as far as I can see) like the A500.
	Anyone with any suggestions?

Thanx t'y'all.

The .Z suffix indicates that the file has been compressed
using UN*X compress command. To uncompress use 'uncompress
[filename]'. See your man pages for more info.
