NAME
       objZ - Compression utility

SYNOPSIS
       objZ [options] input

OPTIONS
       The  objZ  command  accepts  the following options: Decompress input.  The input file must be in ALPHAMAGICZ compressed object file format.
       Print the argument count, input length, and output length.

DESCRIPTION
       The objZ command takes a regular, read/write file in ALPHAMAGIC format as input and converts it to ALPHAMAGICZ compressed format. The  com-
       pressed output file replaces the input file.

       When  the  -u option is specified, the objZ command takes as input a file in ALPHAMAGICZ format (that is, a file previously produced by the
       objZ command or by the as command with the -compress option) and converts it to ALPHAMAGIC format.

ERRORS
       When compressing an input file, the objZ command generates errors if the file is not a regular file (for example,  a  directory	or  device
       special file), if the file is read-only, if its header cannot be read, if the file is not in ALPHAMAGIC format, or if a compression failure
       occurs.

       When decompressing an input file, the objZ command generates errors if the file is not a regular file, if the file  is  read-only,  if  the
       file is not in ALPHAMAGICZ format, or if a decompression failure occurs.
