I have been looking around some FTP site and have noticed most of the files 
use a compression method which names a file xxxx.xxxx.Z . I have been told
that this "Z" extension means the files have been compressed with a utility
called "COMPRESS". I have also found out that COMPRESS is a UNIX utility but
there is a version that will run under MS-DOS. Does anybody know where I could
FTP a copy of UNCOMPRESS????

Thanx
