I don't know much about OS/400 internals, but this seems to me to be absolutely stupid. I can unzip a zip file from 1991 on modern OSes and it works; I can untar a tarball from 1987 and it works. Why does OS/400 have to be so difficult? p.s. There may not have been zip files in '91 or tarballs in '87 - though my first linux computer was in '94 and the compressed tarballs from it can still be read today, 8 years and many releases later.
