Uncompress a Z archive
The stock A/UX install doesn't include gzip/gunzip and tar will not extract Z files. A number of the A/UX files online such as via jagubox mirror will be in .gz format, so here is how you would extract the gzip archive (http://polysoft.fr/jagubox/Utilities/gzip-124.bin.tar.Z) using zcat and tar:
# zcat gzip-124.bin.tar.Z | tar -xvf - x gunzip, 52780 bytes, 104 tape blocks x gunzip.1.Z, 8187 bytes, 16 tape blocks x gzexe, 3858 bytes, 8 tape blocks x gzexe.1.Z, 1050 bytes, 3 tape blocks gzip linked to gunzip gzip.1.Z linked to gunzip.1.Z zcat linked to gunzip zcat.1.Z linked to gunzip.1.Z x zcmp, 2006 bytes, 4 tape blocks x zcmp.1.Z, 679 bytes, 2 tape blocks zdiff linked to zcmp zdiff.1.Z linked to zcmp.1.Z x zforce, 1010 bytes, 2 tape blocks x zforce.1.Z, 565 bytes, 2 tape blocks x zgrep, 1339 bytes, 3 tape blocks x zgrep.1.Z, 805 bytes, 2 tape blocks x zmore, 1074 bytes, 3 tape blocks x zmore.1.Z, 2708 bytes, 6 tape blocks x znew, 3508 bytes, 7 tape blocks x znew.1.Z, 833 bytes, 2 tape blocks
