There is also a .Z extension for a certain DOS compression program (just
called compress I think).  It's used by some people because of it's 
Windows compatibility (I guess pkzip isn't (or wasn't) windows compatible).
You don't have to be in Windows to uncompress, but you do have to have the 
compress program.
