The .Z extension belongs to compress, the unix standard file compression
program.  You can uncompress these files with MacCompress, available
from the usual sources (e.g. info-mac).

I hope that when you wanted to know "how the various compacting programs
do their thing" that you weren't asking for technical details.  They're
a little bit complicated.
