If you have unix on your pc then you can use `uncompress' to uncompress
the file and then `tar' on the resulting file to unarchive it.
i.e. uncompress filename.tar.Z # the resulting file is filename.tar
tar xvf filename.tar # extract files from tar archive
If you have dos then you can get the dos versions of these programmes
from one of the msdos archive sites like wsmr-simtel20.army.mil or
wuarchive.wustl.edu.
