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.
