RE: as400 as a samba/nt client

Not exactly an equivalent, since you need to decompress manually, but IBM has a set of GNU Utilities that includes gzip/gunzip. The utilities are free. The executables are actually regular AS/400 programs in library GNU and can be called from a command line, not just in QShell, with some righteous parameter handling.

Kind of a side issue, but have you considered compressing the files with
a ZIP-style utility?  Example: I just compressed the V5R2 Handbook and
it went from 12.2MB to 5.4 using the WinXP native compressor.  While you
research your long-term storage strategy, this should free up 1/2 or
more of the space currently being consumed.

Is there a CPROBJ equivalent for IFS files? I haven't noticed one.
