%zcat perhaps, but uuencode?  .Z indicates a compressed file.  the most
%obvious way to uncompress it is...with uncompress!  after you're done with
%that, then you can untar it using tar...
 Well, They both start with the same letter, Now dont they ?!
Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa, 
I have never ever made a mistake!
I thought I might have once , but I was wrong.

Go forth and uncompress
