Hi everybody,
             I have just downloaded some .tar.Z files for minix, and have found
that DOSREAD will not read from a 3.5" disk and that I need to uncompress them
and use tar to get them to my hard disk, is there an uncompress program that
will run on MS-DOS available anywhere? Or a version of dosread that will read
from a 3.5" drive?

Thanks in advance,

                        Mike Higgs
