The files are compressed using the VAX/VMS compress utility. You must download
some utilities (don't remember the names right now) to convert the files into
the right format, then use the VAX/VMS restore command.

Simpler solution: Log onto CTRSCI.UTAH.EDU and go to the directory
lib:[tex.fonts.%1] where %1 is the resolution you need (e.g. 329).
Then do a binary file transfer for the fonts you need. No need to
compress/uncompress and so on.

Hope this helps.
