Dear NetLanders,
I got some trouble when decompressing the file gb0611.seqz.
Could anybody help me? Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot. I am told that there are several versions of LZCMP/LZDCMP. Some will manage UN*X compressed files, others won't. The best bet is to use DECOMPRESS, which was designed to decompress these files. DECOMPRESS is available as part of the DECUS UUCP distribution. If you have no luck, AND you are on BITNET please contact me and I will look for the pieces here for you. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Ross Smith, Cell Biology, NYU Medical Center, 550 First Ave., NYC, 10016| |Phone: (212) 340-5356: FAX: (212) 340-8139 (Alternate NYUMC) (212) 340-7190| |E-Mail: SMITH@NYUMED.BITNET (BITNET), SMITH@MCCLB0.MED.NYU.EDU (Internet)| +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

This is from ~ftp/pub/vms/ftp.doc:
The LZDCMP program requires a additional parameter to uncompress
a database file. For example, after retrieving the database file,
gb0709_seq.z, to the local VMS host. Invoke LZDCMP as follows:
$ LZDCMP -X 2 gb0709_seq.z gb0709.seq
