The extension .Z in Unix normally means that it has been compressed with 'compress' which does not use the same algorithm as zip. Try uncompressing with gzip/gunzip.

Hi ,

Thanks a lot for ur immediate response.

I can able to gunzip that file. Because ZIPOutputStream will create a gz file.

But i want to create a file with the extension .Z that means with the Unix compress format. I want to use "uncompress" command only in unix.

Do you have any idea like how to create a UNIX compress format file in java. Is there any API for that.

thanks.
