True, I didn't explicitly state that you need to test. My humble apologies if I assume that the "mindset" of Mainframers is to ALWAYS TEST regardless of what a vendor states is compatible (or even functional). My bad. One of the posters implied that "zip" (among others) was a "universal format" with several vendors offering products. I merely wanted to point out that there may be inconsistencies in the various implementations so "buyer beware". It is of course possible that I'm the only one who has ever come across any issues ;-).
-----Original Message----- Ted MacNEIL >What I was getting at was that you do need to test thoroughly and not rely on a vendors "promise" that it can be done. That's a different statement than 'may'. And, unless I missed it, you said nothing about testing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
