If you want to compress a file in TOS, you should give a filename without
an extension like this, otherwise it will try to create filename.ext.z,
which is not allowed in TOS ( unless you use UNIXMODE ):

     compress filename        -> creates filename.z where filename.z
                                 is compressed


If you want to uncompress a file in TOS, it should have the extension .z
and you must do the following:

     compress -d filename.z   -> creates filename where filename
                                 is uncompressed
