If you look at the internals of BRU by EST software they compress the
data but not the directory portion of the stream.

So the files wind up on the tape like   /kernel.Z
                                        /core.Z
					/bin/cp.Z

					ect

You can reset yourself with the uncompressed directory header.

Had to do this a few times.
