Bob,
I dont know which 'VMS decompression software' you refer to, but i
routinely use tar2vms and compress_vms to decomp files from unix systems.
 
Referenced files can be found at ftp.uu.net in the /systems/vms directory..
 
Note that the compress_vms when used to decomp a file requires that the
last letter of the filename is '_Z'.
