Hi, fellow NetLanders,

	I have a question (as usual).

	I was on vacation for a while so I missed some software.  I tried
	downloading them from uunet.uu.net anonymously, but most of the
	files are already compressed into .Z files.  I tried to uncompress
	them here but then all of them gave me junk.  Sometimes some 
	uncompresses will never stop, so I end up with a bunch of 10M files.

	Is there anything wrong with uncompress?  I tried it on different
	machines with the same results.  I think uncompress refuses to
	uncompress any compressed files with a different version number,
	but I may be wrong.  I know I have missed something here.
	Please help!
