I have a question about ftp'ing to remote sites.
 
It seems that when you get down to the dir and file level on some systems
the name of the prog that I want to get is labeled something like "Part01.z".
I have assumed that the .z suffix meant that the file had been archived in 
some form, and my guess was the the .z stood for zoo.

However, once I'm logged off and onto my own system, I have tried to unzoo
these files and it hasn't worked.
 
I'm sure there must be something that I'm missing or that I don't understand
that would quickly clarify this problem.

You can post (so everyone will know, even those who have been afraid to ask)
on news or leave email to my address.
