For the ?Y? files I've used UNCRLZH.COM

Before QTERM will run on a specific machine, however, it needs to be patched.
Obtain a copy of QTPATCH.LBR, which contains patch source code for various
machines, plus ZSM.COM and ZPATCH.COM; programs that make this a relatively
painless procedure.

I've become quite fond of QTERM because of it's scripting capability,
and personally have versions running on Altos 580, Sony SMC-70, 
Televideo TS-816/40 and of course TS-803.
