Well, I have a program called MacCompress, that uncompresses *.Z files
(created with UNIX's "compress" command).

As to other types of archives, I dunno; is there a utility that
(un)TAR's files on the Mac?  If so, then where may I find it

I'm fairly certain that UNIX's have un-ARC and un-ZIP on them, in which
case all you have to do is get MacARC and MacZIP (there ARE such things,
I have them, but I probably got their names wrong).

If you need any of this stuff, E-Mail me, and I'll (try) to get it out to
you.  I dunno if I can though; our mainframe<-->dialup up/downloading
isn't working too well.. :(
