The patch is not in tar.Z format, even for unix systems.

The 8.1.6.3.0 instructions don't mention any constraints.  The script
warns you:

   This procedure assumes that:
        - Your current working directory
          /db03/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/patches/1788961
          is where you have restored this patch archive to.
        - You have read the README.* file.
        - You have at least 120 Mb available in the following filesystem.
          /db03/app/oracle/product/8.1.6
        - You have at least 39 Mb available in following filesystem
          /db03/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/lib
        - You have shutdown all database instances under this ORACLE_HOME
          before running this script.
        - YOU WILL NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCEDURE!
          Are you ready to continue? [N] => y

Installation is smooth.  However, if you don't adhere to the above,
my guess is you will blow several toes off.  It would be nice
if the readme mentioned this up front.
