Pelle: If the files have a lowercase .z rather than an uppercase .Z then chances are that they were made with gzip, a program rapidly replacing Compress in the Unix world. There is a version of gzip for the Amiga, and I believe it's available here in the libs. I think the lowercase .z was also once used by a program called pack, but I'm not familiar with it, and chances are that the files you have were made with gzip, rather than pack. // -Mike Schiller \X/ AMIGA!
