Does anybody know of a commercial or freeware product to replace
PKZIP/VM (support expires February 2009) besides Info-Zip?
Is the goal data compression or data bundling or both?
And is the target platform also z/VM?

We are looking for compression, targeting windows pc, and some others,
primarily windows. We need more than VMARC which I believe is only for

Would you consider using a Linux image as an engine or service machine to
zip and unzip the necessary files? There are already free tools there, and
Linux will talk to z/VM fairly freely.

Kris,
We need to go the other way too. i.e. Uncompress a file on z/VM that
was sent from windows or another platform in PKZIP format.

But, there is the VMAWIN tool that can decompress VMARC files on Windows
(and OS/2).

could someone tell me where I could confirm that a Magstar 3590 model

Support for 3590 tape drives was added to VM in version 2.
Looking at model E11 there were no upgrades required for VM.
I don't know of any manual that lists what hardware is supported by which level of VM. However, it
is easy to search the IBM website. I did a search on 3590 Opened the
In my 35 years of working on or around VM, I have never once had to take
a stand alone dump of VM. In the past, the PSW RESTART dumps were
sufficient. Now, you have that and the SNAPDUMP command. The only times
that the stand alone dump tape got used was for the production TPF
systems when I was

We stopped making SA dump tapes long ago since we never ever used them.
PSW Restart has always worked. And more recently, SNAPDUMP has been
used here quite a bit.

As Richard says, VM dumps SO rarely that buying a tape drive for that
purpose is probably a waste of money. The only thing you absolutely need
a tape drive for is to back up spool files and NSSes such as CMS and
GCS. SPXTAPE can't deal with non-tape devices.
And for those, you might look at VSSI's VTAPE product. It can use a
virtual tape for SPXTAPE. It might be cheaper than a tape drive (+
controller + cables + maintenance contract). I don't know what size your
system is, but the VSSI products are priced based on MSU. You can check
their website
