- I'm thinking PKUNZIP is a PC utility-? Things I've gotten from anon
- ftp sites are uncompressable with SunOS "uncompress" or "zcat" (if it's
- compressed to begin with); the clue is ".Z" suffix. I assumed everything
- was Unix-based unless otherwise specified. But apparently these
- are IBM-type compressions you're talking about?
