Programs like UCRLZH11 or more recently, the programs in
CRUNCH28.LBR, will uncrunch them.  Or EXL will, but I use
UNCRUNCH28.  It will be directly replacing UNCRLZH on my CP/M
machines, and will be my main uncrunher on my MS-DOS machine
using 22NICE to emulate the Z80.  BTW, both uncrunchers will
uncrunch ANYTHING, be it *.?Q?, *.?Z?, or *.?Y?.
