If you use Windows then get Winzip which will do the trick.

If you use FTP to get the files do type "get file" instead of
"get file.Z" and ftp-program will uncompress it for you.

For msdos get gzip and use it like "gzip -d file.Z".

For unix there's usually "uncompress file.Z" - if not ask your
system admin.

This has been answered already several times in the history of this
list so you can find answers from the archives.

I hope this helps,
