Hey, guys. I just downloaded two files from the yoyo.<address here> ftp
site called srtotems.z and totems.z. I thought that they were lists of
totems. But I can't open the files. They arent RTF or DOC or TXT formated
and I don't know how to read them.. Any suggestions out there? Maybe the
author is here and can tell me what kind of file they are.
Thanks alot.

Or maybe uncompress on the same.
Unzip files are suffixed .GZ aren't they?

On the unix machines here, it is:

gzip -d *

Which will uncompress all ".gz" files in the current directory. Try
typing "man gzip" for further information.
