>Is there a product like PKZIP for the AS400? Where can I get some info?-web site? ------------ My boss asked me something similar a few months ago. This is what I found: PKZIP AS/400 Commercial software Ascent Solutions, Inc., http://www.asizip.com/ GNU zip (gzip) Freeware The zipped files are created with an extension of .gz but you use Winzip to extract these files on Win95, 98 and NT systems. gzip is the GNU compression utility from the Free Software Foundation. Learn more about gzip: http://www.gzip.org/ Download gzip for the AS/400://www.gzip.org/gzip-as400.zip. Gzip is also available from IBM, along with other unsupported GNU utilities for the AS/400, by sending an e-mail request to rchgo400@us.ibm.com. The AS/400 supplies a UNIX-type shell with UNIX-type utilities (e.g. grep, cat, head, mv, sed). Qshell Interpreter (qsh) and Qshell Utilities (available as OS/4000 Option 30), provide a standard command interpreter and standard shell commands for AS/400. Not all UNIX utilities are provided. Qshell Interpreter provides 47 built-in utilities and Qshell Utilities adds another 50. All UNIX utilities, however, are not provided. For example, at this time lex, yacc, and awk are not supported. Gzip is supported, of course. zlib Freeware zlib is a free, general-purpose compression library.

These guys also wrote gzip. There was a 4th utility that was Java, but I didn't write the name down since it wasn't something we would use - Java, that is. jw +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
