Get unix compress for your amiga, and decompress it there.
(If you want it to take a *long* time).

Otherwise, type:
  uncompress <filename>
on your unix box to uncompress the file

(You can also compress <file> to compress a file, and zcat <filename>
to look at a file (ASCII format) which is compressed.)
