++   I'm having trouble getting files to uncompress properly that have the
++   .Z extension.  I'm talking about the sound files on terminator.

Uncompressing .Z files requires using '-d' as an option to 'compress', e.g. 

compress -d sndfile.Z

You should be able to find compress on atari.archive.umich.edu
