Does anyone know of any software/freeware for the frame that
will zip a file? We are OS390 V2R10. Once again thanks to the
group in advance.

(Like talking to myself.) I actually tested the program with zip, download,
and unzip of a source module. It went from 10 tracks to 2--84% compression
according to messages--and the result on my PC looked just like the
original. So I guess it's working regardless of the -v problem.

Then some free software is supported and some chargeable software is
not, including software for which you pay a support fee.

Phil had other things on his head for many years before he died and I believe
he stepped out of PKZip a long time ago.

We went through that a couple of years ago.
Unfortunately, PKZIP for MVS from PKWARE is it.
And, they know it.
They make CA seem like old friends.
