I fear I did not make myself clear enough. My problem is not
<filename>.Z
rather it is
<filename>.<suffix1>Z<suffix2>
I.e. I unarchived a file from the SIMTEL20 archives, and got the file
PCPI6502.MZP
`compress' and its associated programs do not recognize the format of this
program. Furthermore, when I do `od -cx PCPI6502.MZP' I get
0000000 v 376 P C P I 6 5 0 2 . M A P \0 !

I was informed that the program I need is PD:<UNIX.SQ-USQ>UNCR231A.C
so I am waiting for it to appear to give it a try. (I just hope it hasn't
been `Z'd!)

In article <8705141943.AA29124@renoir.Berkeley.EDU> samples@RENOIR.BERKELEY.EDU (A. Dain Samples) reminesces about an article in which he asked how to uncompress files with a Z suffix: >I fear I did not make myself clear enough. My problem is not > <filename>.Z >rather it is > <filename>.<suffix1>Z<suffix2> Right. >I was informed that the program I need is PD:<UNIX.SQ-USQ>UNCR231A.C >so I am waiting for it to appear to give it a try. (I just hope it hasn't >been `Z'd!) > >Dain There is a popular CP/M utility set called CRUNCH and UNCRUNCH which uses Ziv-Lempel compression and creates compressed files with the ?Z? suffix. The original CP/M utility is written in assembly language and UNCR231A.C is a portable C version of it. I believe it uses a 12-bit code. So you are on the right track. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP: {ihnp4,seismo}!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!dhesi
