The *.z files I've seen on SysV are those created/manipulated by the trio: pack, unpack, pcat Similar to the *.Z trio (but different algorithms): compress, uncompress, zcat Of note, also, is the fact the {pack, unpack, pcat} trio is NOT ln'd together as are the members of the {compress, uncompress, zcat} trio.
