I guess I just need to know the >name of the archiver so I can get it from an FTP server somewhere. Actually, doesn't .Z mean they are tar'ed? I think compressed or packed is small .z If it is tared together, you will have to go into UNIX and untar it by typing: tar xvf filename.ext.Z In case I'm wrong, you can also do a 'man tar' Hope this helps.
