Bash script for uncompressing multiple files at a once

I have a set of files:

lium3@l128-37:/DATA/fr94/01 $ ls -l
total 7784
-rw-r--r-- 1 lium3 mcm1 395575 May 2 1996 fr940104.0z
-rw-r--r-- 1 lium3 mcm1 113815 May 2 1996 fr940104.1z
-rw-r--r-- 1 lium3 mcm1 186333 May 2 1996 fr940104.2z
-rw-r--r-- 1 lium3 mcm1 164854 May 2 1996 fr940105.0z
-rw-r--r-- 1 lium3 mcm1 39677 May 2 1996 fr940105.1z
-rw-r--r-- 1 lium3 mcm1 284948 May 2 1996 fr940105.2z

I wish to uncompress them all at once (this is just a sample!).

I tried this

find -name '*.0z' -exec sh -c 'uncompress "$1%.*" "$1"' _ ;

and just got:

gzip: ./fr940125.gz: No such file or directory
gzip: ./fr940125.0z: unknown suffix -- ignored
gzip: ./fr940106.gz: No such file or directory
gzip: ./fr940106.0z: unknown suffix -- ignored

I have many directories with files like these.

If I can get a script to do one directory, is it possible to do it recursively down through the directories?
