I am relatively new to the world of UNIX compression/archive programs.  The
files availiable via anonymous ftp at 128.163.128.6 are compressed somehow.
I tried downloading kermit.tar.Z.  I ran it through zcat, and it took
relatively long to finish (6 seconds).  I ended up with a .tar file that was 3
megabytes long!  Fortunately, quota seems to be off, but I'm sure that our
system dude wouldn't be pleased.

So...how is one supposed to extract the programs from these files without
incurring the wrath of the Disk Quota gnomes?

(I suppose I could ask someone here at WPI, but I thought this would be of
general interest)
