Re: ZIP SOFTWARE for Mainframe
(Picked this note among many for reply.) As a first pass I decided to try Info-ZIP. The price is just right. Downloaded from two different sites (thanks to other replies). The unzip program verifies OK. That is, call infozip(unzip) '-v' gives what I would expect. However, the same command for zip call infozip(zip) '-v' giveszip error: Internal logic error (empty name without -j or -r) The doc says this command should work for both programs.

Re: ZIP SOFTWARE for Mainframe
(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. . . .

[Waaay off topic] Funny you mention this. It was the topic of a dinner conversation about a year ago. Subsequent research led us to this outstanding study from the Fraser Institute: http://oldfraser.lexi.net/publications/books/laws_markets/. All Canadians should take the time to read this publication in its entirety. Of particular interest is Easton's contribution Some Economics of the Canadian Legal Profession. Here are a couple of excerpts to pique your interest: The single most striking characteristic of the Canadian legal profession from an outsider's perspective is the expansion of the number of participants in the industry. From 1985 to 1995, the number of members of the Canadian Bar Association increased by 37 percent. During this same period the population of Canada grew only 13 percent. Canada is not the only common-law jurisdiction with many lawyers. In comparison to the United States in 1993, we have only about two-thirds as many lawyers per capita. However, it is also the case that we are training more, faster. In 1971, Canada had half as many lawyers as the United States; by 1981 the figure was 60 percent. Figure 3 points to the rapid increase in the proportion of lawyers in Canada relative to the United States. In the past few years (not shown in the figure), the per-capita number of lawyers in the United States has actually declined slightly, while the number in Canada continues to increase. -- .-. | Edward E.

Re: ZIP SOFTWARE for Mainframe
In the Wintel space I was a user of PKZIP http://www.pkware.com/ for DOS when it was originally released and upgraded 4 or 5 times before jumping ship to WinZIP http://www.winzip.com/ which seemed superior to the PKZip for Windows offering at the time. Today I am very happy with WinRAR http://www.rarlabs.com/ which offered advantages like transparent support for tar/gzip combo files and for the RAR format which had better compression. I have to say that support and technical quality was never at issue with PKWARE PKZIP but the pricing and upgrade policies were not as generous as the competition. Anyone should look at the commercial tools or the excellent free tools like 7-zip http://www.7-zip.org/ and make their own evaluation.

ZIP-390 from Data 21 is being used here. It's not free but the price was pretty reasonable (for a mainframe package). The URL is http://www.data21.com/products/zip/default.asp We also use GZIP/GUNZIP, which we installed before we got ZIP-390. GZIP is great when sending to somewhere else with GZIP, but since it specifically isn't compatible with WINZIP, PKZIP, or ZIP-GENIUS, you're SOL if you're wanting to send data to a PC for unzipping (unless the PC is running GZIP).

IIRC there's a zipper in XMITIP from _www.lbdsoftware.com_ (http://www.lbdsoftware.com) . So when you do the install you end up with stuff to do the ZIP. Anyway, need to STEPLIB to the libraries. The ZIP is a check option on the XMITIP panels. I think it's INFOZIP but don't know for sure.
