Thanks to all those who told me how to uncompress unix .Z files using GS
Shrinkit -- and for prompting me to finally getting around to getting it
from the archives.  Now when I get some more time I'll have to act on
the second half of the suggestions for creating .Z files on the GS.  One
point that might be worth putting into the record:  in transferring the
.Z files from a unix system with kermit you have to remember to tell
both kermits to treat them as binary files, not text files.  It was also
a bit of a nuisance to discover that Shrinkit uncompressed the .Z file
into a ProDos BIN file (I'd rather it had come out as TXT), but since my
WordPerfect can be told to read any type file as either text or WP that
wasn't really a problem.
