RE: 7-zip for creating Zip files from the iSeries.

It should show as a STMF. After the file transfer you should see the
file p7zip.tar.Z. This is case sensitive so that Z must be capitalized.
After the uncompress command, you should have the file p7zip.tar in the
same directory. It will also show as a STMF.

The final command, tar xm /tmp/p7zip.tar will install the binaries to
the correct directory so you can the use 7zip commands. As you run the
commands uncompress and tar, it looks like nothing happens but it really
does work.

You should find the 7zip files in /usr/local/bin, two files, 7z and 7za,
only 1k each. Then you have a folder /usr/local/lib/p7zip with the real
programs.

If you find these files, it worked.

Hi Chris,

I did a binary transfer.

But when I send it to the System i it comes in as a STMF and I can't do
the uncompress step
