couple of ways:
1) linux% uncompress linpack.tar.Z
linux% tar xvpf linpack.tar.Z
2) linux% gunzip linpack.tar.Z
linux% tar xvpf linpack.tar.Z
3) linux% tar zxvpf linpack.tar.Z
4) linux% zcat -d linpack.tar.Z | tar xvpf -
.Z is the UNIX compress algorithm, which gunzip and uncompress can uncompress.
tar can also uncompress it (by running gzcat on it) with the z flag.
