 Well, I'll assume it's Filename.tar.Z since that makes more sense. Anyhow,
get CompressV4.0 from ab20.larc.nasa.gov, and do compress -d Filename.tar
to get rid of the .Z portion.  Then get TAR from ab20.larc.nasa.gov,
or from one of the fish disks on grind.isca.uiowa.edu, and do
(might not be exactly correct) tar -f Filename to get rid of the .tar
on the program.  You then should have a perfectly good directory full
of whatever Filename was.
Hope it helped.
