I have encountered files that are compressed in some
sort of arc'ed format which have the extension .Z.
For example: readme.txt.Z.  What compression program
would uncompress such a file.  I tried ZOO, ARC, and
ZIP, but none of these seems to work.  Also, files
which have the name: readme.tar.Z seem to confuse
me.  What uncompression format and what program
should one use to uncompress such a file.  Any and
all help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank You.
