Hello Jim,

Three is a "compress" and "uncompress" command in UNIX. This "compress"
adds .Z at the end of the file. The other chance is the "gunzip" command.
Both commands should be also available under cygwin for Windows.

Here is a "gunzip" version for MSDOS in a DOS-box.
http://www.gzip.org/
ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/tools/zip/info-zip/MSDOS/gzip124.exe

Best regards,
Helmut
