uncompress

[Brian Schmidt]

I'm having "one of those moments."

I'm trying to uncompress a *.tar.Z file, but not having much luck.  In the
past, I always typed "uncompress *.tar.Z", but that doesn't seem to work
anymore.  I thought perhaps I could use tar, but either it's not going to
work or I've just got my syntax incorrect.  I looked at its man page, and
it looks ok, but doesn't work.

Anyone care to enlighten me on this ridiculously simple task?

TIA,
Brian
