AFAIK, .Z files are compressed. You can uncompress them using
"uncompress <filename>.Z". After that you should be able to untar it.

You could also try (I think it works, but I haven't checked it) whether
you can use the shortcut "tar -xzf <filename>.tar.Z". The "z" option
means that the archive is packed. I know it works with gzipped files and
I think it also works with compressed files.
