I want to post a large file (the elvis docs), but they are >80K.
I am posting from a unix workstation, and the people getting
stuff off here need to get it in an MSDOS way.  I can compress
it and send it, but I have two questions.

1.  Is uncompress a common utility for DOSers?

2.  Will the .Z file be sent (and received) OK since it is
    not composed of "printable" characters?


Any suggestions on how I can do this will be appreciated.

I have unzip sources and uudecode sources which I have working
on my unix box.  However, I have no way to zip or encode.


Thanks in advance,
