I'm probably missing something obvious, but today while doing
an FTP from a UNIX machine to a PC I was unable to transfer
files that had been both TARred and COMPRESSed.  These files
were of the form <name>.tar.Z.  Upon issuing the GET command
from the PC I got a message "Unable to open file".  This was
using Wollongong's  WIN/TCP For DOS.  Is the inability to deal
with a three-part name a failure of the WIN/TCP product, or
is there a trick I can use here to get the file over to my PC?

Thanks,
