I'm not sure which linux distribution you're using but it'll most certainly
have a compress package. The following is from my rh7.1 system:

[jason at nikita jason] which uncompress
/usr/bin/uncompress

[jason at nikita jason] rpm -qf /usr/bin/uncompress
ncompress-4.2.4-21

[jason at nikita jason] rpm -qi ncompress
Name        : ncompress                    
Summary     : Fast compression and decompression utilities.
Description :
The ncompress package contains the compress and uncompress file
compression and decompression utilities, which are compatible with the
original UNIX compress utility (.Z file extensions).  These utilities
can't handle gzipped (.gz file extensions) files, but gzip can handle
compressed files.

Install ncompress if you need compression/decompression utilities
which are compatible with the original UNIX compress utility.
