Programs ending with .?Z? are compressed using Crunch, a
PD LZW-compressor for CP/M. I don't know of any MS-DOS software
that can handle this format --- it certainly isn't compatible
with any MS-DOS crunchers. There is also an LZH compressor
called CRLZH; files compressed by this program can be recognized
from their .?Y? extension. The best way I can think of to handle
this is to get LT29.COM --- a utility that can decompress
.?Q? .?Z? and .?Y? files and extract files from (NU)LU archives --
and a CP/M emulator for MS-DOS. Both should be available
from any good PD library that still carries CP/M software.
