- I am just getting into ftp and was trying to download some programs from
- wuarchive.wustl.edu and was stumped as to how I am supposed to unpack programs
- with a ".Z" extension on them. Could someone please post a list of most common
- compressions, their suffixes, (bsq,arc,z, etc) and where I can find a program
- to convert them? I am currently running an Apple //c thru a Vax system at my
- school. Any help is greatly appreciated! (I can use anything that is Apple II,
- (not GS!!) and most anything that is VMS as well, but would prefer to do it all
- on my Apple)
