- Oh, no, not again.. If anybody have the startup file send it to them both.
- The *.Z extension is _NOT_ for uuencoded file. It is for COMPRESSED files.
- Compressed using Unix/Vax/VMS Compress program.
- Amiga version of compress is placed in wuarchive.wustl.edu and is called
- compress-40.lha if I remember properly.
- to decompress the *.Z file on Amy, use compress -d filename.
- And please, read the Startup file.
