I have a compressed tar archive, filz.tar.Z, created on another flavor of
Unix.  Under RedHat 9, what is the correct syntax to first uncompress the
archive to filz.tar.  I do not see an uncompress command.

TIA
Ron

either:
gzip -d filz.tar.Z

or:
gunzip filz.tar.Z

ought to work.

Thanks.  The man page for tar listed a --uncompress option but I couldn't
get it to work
