Tony, The zip and unzip code is supported on many platforms, and uses pre-processor symbols to do this switching. These are standardized for the IBM XL C compiler on z/OS and VM/CMS. Adding an additional build compiler is nontrivial. It makes the logic even more complex, as one would need to support the Dignus conventions for determining the target platform (not build platform). RBC is already contributing my time on this effort, and paying for a virtual AIX instance so I can do validation/development on zip/unzip on AIX. As we do not use zip or unzip on VM/CMS, I can hardly ask them to also pony up the ongoing price of yet another compiler (whether IBM XC C for VM, or Dignus). Al Dunsmuir - Sr. TSA, RBC.
