     ------------ 
     
     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.

     One of the authors was responsible for/part of the creation of PKZip.  
     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.
