Re: CDDIS data file names
The .Z indicates the file was compressed using UNIX compression, e.g., the UNIX compress command. Users on UNIX systems can use the command uncompress to expand the file. Users on non-UNIX systems can consult the gzip web site. Note that ftp transfers of compressed files must be performed using binary mode.
