It looks like the following link was overlooked, which will be added in the
next release of the shell:
     ln -s /SYS/HPBIN/UNCOMPRE /bin/uncompress
You can just execute this shell command on your system as a workaround.
 
The problem is because UNCOMPRESS has more than eight characters, and so
the actual MPE-named program file in HPBIN.SYS is named UNCOMPRE.  The link
in /bin should have had the full name, however, but doesn't on C.50.00.
 
By the way, the link for ps is also missing from /bin, although not due to
the eight-character name problem.  You can create it the same way:
     ln -s /SYS/HPBIN/PS /bin/ps
This, too, will be fixed in the next version of the shell.
