	I know this is a Newbie question, if you want to flame, go ahead, just
include an answer, PLEASE!
	
	I have gotten a file from an FTP site.  It has an '.Z' extension, and
(therefore) is unusable yet.  I have the file on a pc 3.5" disk since we don't
have disk space on the VAX.  Can anybody give me any clues to make this file
useful?  If needs be, I can get the VAX manager to convert it for me, and give
me the changed file(s), but he hasn't had much experience with FTP.
	Your help (even helpful heat) is appreciated:
