I could be wrong (it happens), but I believe that SLIKZIP is
'stabilised' at the OS/390 2.10 level.
I did a study last year to replace PKZIP with another 'work-alike'.
SLIKZIP was in the running until we found out there was no new
development going on.

SLIKZIP users can relax, Ted is just plain wrong.
SLIKZIP was specifically designed for z/OS, it also supports OS/390 2.10.
release shipped contained support for..
Version 1.1 Mar 2003 ZIP, UNZIP, AUDIT ZIP files,
version 1.2 Oct 2003 GZIP files
version 1.4 Mar 2004 ZIP54, DEFLATE64 and files >4GB
version 1.5 Nov 2004 AES 128/192/256 bit encryption
Version 1.6 Jul 2005 processing exits (released on RPQ basis to a
number of sites)
--and in a couple of weeks time--
Version 1.7 Feb 2007 ISPF dialog interface
ASE's support for SLIKZIP is 24/365 per the SEV1/2/3/4 reporting and
response model.
As SLIKZIP's feature load has grown the release rate has dropped from
every six months to more like every 12, but that in no way justifies
the statements that Ted has made in this influential forum.
How about it Ted?
Regards to all,
Graeme.
