Get unix compress for your amiga, and decompress it there.
(If you want it to take a *long* time).

Otherwise, type:
  uncompress <filename>
on your unix box to uncompress the file

(You can also compress <file> to compress a file, and zcat <filename>
to look at a file (ASCII format) which is compressed.)

uncompress <filename>.  the .Z will be appended. and a file in uncompressed
form with the filename without the .Z will be created.

Hello,
To uncompress *.Z files use the uncompress command.

Compress is on fish disk 51 and I presume that uncompress is
there also..(Although I havent checked!)
