If you have unix on your pc then you can use `uncompress' to uncompress
the file and then `tar' on the resulting file to unarchive it.

i.e.	uncompress filename.tar.Z	# the resulting file is filename.tar
	tar xvf filename.tar		# extract files from tar archive

If you have dos then you can get the dos versions of these programmes
from one of the msdos archive sites like wsmr-simtel20.army.mil or
wuarchive.wustl.edu.
