pcat - unpack and concatenate files created by pack

pcat does for packed files what cat(1) does for ordinary files, except that pcat cannot be used as filter. For each file specified, a search is made for a file named file.z (or just file, if file ends in .z). If this file appears to be a packed file, pcat unpacks the file and writes it to standard output.
