[comp.os.coherent] I'm new. Problems.

I'm new to UNIX and have Coherent 3.0 running on my Toshiba laptop. 
I'm going to upgrade to version 3.1, but before that I want to ask 
something. 
How can I install new programs to my Coherent system? I mean those 
with names like *.tar.Z *.sh.Z *.sh and other files with different 
endings. I can transfer files to my Coherent filesystem, but don't 
know how to extract and install them.
Could someone mail me some kind of explanation how to install 
different kind of programs?
I have ftp access and have transferred files from piggy but have 
been unable to install them. (CNews.tar.Z, elvis?.sh)
