.Z means a compressed file. In theory, you can use an UNCOMPRESS command in
your analog.cfg to tell analog how to uncompress them. The problem is, under
Windows you probably don't have the standard "uncompress" program to turn .Z
files back into plain text.
Does anyone know where he might get such a program from?
Alternatively, if you have access to the Solaris machine, you could
uncompress them on that first.
Even better, "gzip" the files rather than "compress" them. gzip compresses
better. Also, you can get the gunzip program for Windows from www.gnu.org.
