                     14: 
                     15: Each file's name must have the suffix .Z, which was appended onto
                     16: it by compress; otherwise, uncompress prints an error message and
                     17: exits.  When  uncompress has uncompressed a  file, it removes the
                     18: .ZZ suffix from that file's name.
                     19:

                     23: 
                     24: Older versions of uncompress could only uncompress files that had
                     25: been compressed  with option -b12  or lower, with  -b12 being the
                     26: default.  The  edition of uncompress released  with COHERENT ver-
                     27: sion  3.1  now  handles values  up  to  16  by  using RAM  device
                     28: /dev/ram1 for temporary storage.  For this reason, it is strongly
                     29: advised that you not use /dev/ram1 as a RAM disk.
                     30: 
                     31: The -w  option allows the user to  specify an alternate temporary
                     32: storage file to  uncompress.  The default value for tempfile when
                     33: the -w option is omitted is /dev/ram1.
