After a long time away from CP/M I'm getting my feet wet again.  I bought an
Apple /// with Softcard over the Memorial Day weekend.

I've been perloining the local BBS's for interesting programs and utilities.
Now, I know that ????????.?Q? files are files that have been compressed with
SQ and can be uncompressed with USQ.  But, I've scene a number of files with
????????.?Z? file names. What programs are these compressed by.

Second question.  I can find a few programs that will de-ARC *.ark files 
(compatible with MS-DOS *.arc files).  Are there any CP/M programs to create
MS-DOS compatible archives?

Third question (related to the first).  Any LU type program that handles 
library management, and automatically squeezes/unsqueezes files?
