>Description:

The uncompress(1) program, when given a filename without a .Z
extension, prompts the user for confirmation and if given "y", it then
ignores the reply and then complains about the missing .Z extension.

This PR should be suspended immediately for the "lack of resources"
reason, because it is an unimportant bug that only wastes a little
users' time.

overwrite yyy? y

>Fix:

Make the program abort with complaint if a filename doesn't have
a .Z extension. (Either reject only bad filenames or whole command.)
