Does somebody know I re-port GZIP from Harald with some enhancement. You can find the source at www.cbttape.org. It's called GZIP/390
Well it was years ago and so far I know of two clients using them in production. If I get payed I'll verify if I can imrpove the coding and also provide one-day support. So far the two clients haven't request this so it seems the freewar at cbttape works fine for them or they made some changed outside the GNU license stuff.

This removes the need for an HFS intermediate file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
