- Programs ending with .?Z? are compressed using Crunch, a
- PD LZW-compressor for CP/M. I don't know of any MS-DOS software
- that can handle this format --- it certainly isn't compatible
- with any MS-DOS crunchers. There is also an LZH compressor
- called CRLZH; files compressed by this program can be recognized
- from their .?Y? extension. The best way I can think of to handle
- this is to get LT29.COM --- a utility that can decompress
- .?Q? .?Z? and .?Y? files and extract files from (NU)LU archives --
- and a CP/M emulator for MS-DOS. Both should be available
- from any good PD library that still carries CP/M software.
