>OK, I'm sure this has been answered before in this newsgroup, so please forgive me.  (I only got my ST 4 days ago) Anyway, I was going to ftp some stuff from   wuarchive.wustl.edu and I noticed that all the archives ended with a .Z extender.  What do I need to unarc these type files? (I've got ARC and ZOO).  Any help  would be greatly appreciated.

A ".Z" signifies a file compressed with compress 4.3, a PD utility from the
Unix world. You should be able to find an ST version there as well.
