GZIP.Z Install & Use on AIX 4.3.3.11

Install Procedure

Using Windows XP download gzip.1.2.4a.tar.Z and burn to CD
On RS/6000 7011-250 put CD in
# mount /cdrom
# cd /cdrom
# ls shows it as gzip_1_2.z   (Allan why the file name change by AIX)
# cd /
# mkdir /gzipaix
# cp /cdrom/gzip_1_2.z /gzipaix
# unmount /cdrom
take Cd out of drive
Now file has to be uncompressed because uncompress will only work on capital Z files not z files.
You must be in the folder of the file to use uncompress on and do name change
# cd /gzipaix
# mv gzip_1_2.z gzip_1_2.Z
# uncompress gzip_1_2.Z
# ls shows it as gzip-1-2 the file gzip_1_2.Z has been deleted
As the files came off a CD they must be subjected to inutoc
# cd /
# inutoc /gzipaix

Use Procedure

Using Win XP download clamav.0.85.tar.Z and burn to CD
On RS/6000 7011-250 put Cd into drive
# mount /cdrom
# cd /cdrom
ls -l shows clamav_0.z ( Allan that name change again)
# cd /
# mkdir /clam
# cp /cdrom/clamav_0.z /clam
# unmount /cdrom
Take Cd out of drive
# cd /clam
Now to work on z or gz files in AIX they must always be Z or gZ files ie the z must be capital Z
# mv clamav_0.z clamav_0.Z
# cd /
# inutoc /clam
now to unzip get into folder of file to be unzipped
# pwd we are in /clam
# /gzip/gzip_1_2 -d clam_0.Z 
Would not work no execute permission.
Alan and here it all fell over
Used # chmod a+w on clam_0.Z and on gzip_1_2 and on folders clam and gzip to be sure they were 
-rwx rwx rwx for files
drwx rwx rwx for directories
Cannot get rid of permission denied message.
I did all of the above on 7012-320 AIX 4.2.1.0 and got the same message.
Every thing is done logged on as root.
