| # file faxjet.01z
| faxjet.01z:     gzip compressed data - deflate method , max compression
| 
| 
| As you can see, if I run file against it, it says that it is a gzip
| compressed file ...  Am I doing something wrong?

I suspect you typed 
	gunzip faxjet.01z
which failed, because there isn't a "well-known"  (well-known to gzip,
that is) extension on it, like .gz or .tgz or .tar.gz.

You can either rename it to faxjet.O1.gz and retype your command, or
forget it and use stdin instead.  I.e., either

	mv faxjet.01z faxjet.01.gz; gunzip faxjet.01.gz
or
	< faxjet.01z gunzip > faxjet.O1
or
	gzcat < faxjet.01z > faxjet.01

should work.
