I'm having a problem either with VT100 or with Kermit, I'm not sure
which.  I have a bunch of files on our UNIX system, which I'm downloading
en-masse to my Amiga (since I'm leaving soon to take a sabatical, and I want
to take the stuff with me).

To cut down on time, I compressed the files with compress(1).  
It produces file names like strings.c.Z.  Using Unix Kermit and VT100 (v2.2?)
on my Amiga, these come out as strings.cxz.  Now I have to go back by hand
and change all these files to strings.c.z so that compress -d will uncompress
them.  

Does anyone know what is going on here?  Is this fixed in a more recent
release of vt100?  

As a secondary problem (which I can live with), all my
nicely-thought-out mixed case file names are converted to lower case.
There seems to be a #defined constant that controls this.  Is there any
reason not to turn this off?  Are there any side effects?

As a tertiary problem, compress for the Amiga (thanks, Fred) doesn't
seem to remove the old file when it creates the new one. Once again,
this one I can live with.  The code (on fish disk 6) to do this is all
#ifdef-ed out if your not running unix.  There's clearly some code in
that area that hasn't a hope on an amiga, but some of it looks OK.  Any
gotcha's in there before I go and put the unlink code back in?
