Error renaming a compressed filename without .Z
I guess that I wasn't specific enough.

the script -
uncompress $1
mv `basename $1 .Z` newfilename

requires input of a file name. What I tried to say was
where $1 = basename.Z
after compression this becomes basename
how do I rename $1 or save to another variable the filename = basename
by itself?

lzless

XZLESS(1)							     XZ Utils								 XZLESS(1)

NAME

       xzless, lzless - view xz or lzma compressed (text) files

SYNOPSIS

       xzless [file...]
       lzless [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       xzless  is  a filter that displays pagefulls of uncompressed text from compressed file(s) to a terminal.  It works on files compressed with
       xz(1) or lzma(1).  If no files are given, xzless reads from standard input.

       xzless uses less(1) as its only pager.  Unlike xzmore, the choice of pagers is not alterable by	an  environment  variable.   Commands  are
       based on both more(1) and vi(1), and allow back and forth movement and searching.  See the less(1) manual for more information.

       The command named lzless is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

ENVIRONMENT

       LESSMETACHARS
	      A list of characters special to the shell.  Set by xzless unless it is already set in the environment.

       LESSOPEN
	      Set to a command line to invoke the xz(1) decompressor for preprocessing the input files to less(1).

SEE ALSO

       less(1), xz(1), xzmore(1), zless(1)
