I am helping a small company recover their HP3000.  It is/was being hosted
by someone, that may even be on this list.  I am supposed to restore the
HP3000 from an .lzw backup, and I would appreciate advice.

I was pointed to an ftp site to get the backup. I noticed it was a Windows
FTP server when I logged on. On the site, I see the following when I enter
ls -l...

-rwxrwxrwx   1 owner    group       145900544 Sep  2 15:57
HP_Backup_20160902.lzw
-rwxrwxrwx   1 owner    group       145894400 Sep 11 20:16
HP_Backup_20160911.lzw
-rwxrwxrwx   1 owner    group          171776 Jul 11  2013 lzw.raw

I use binary and download the file...

ftp> binary
200 Type set to I.
ftp> get HP_Backup_20160911.lzw BACK0911
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for HP_Backup_20160911.lzw(145894400
bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
145894400 bytes received in 440.05 seconds (323.77 Kbytes/sec)
All good so far, but it isn't Store-to-Disk format, does anyone recognize
this...

Note:  I changed the account name to XYZ and made the hex '00' to obscure my
client's identity.
