I wonder what it would take to get IBM to .zip the PTF .bin files.

I just zipped one that's 506 MB and it's down to 208 MB.  Even with 10
Mb/sec internet, these suckers still take a long time to download.
Anyone have any sort of clue who would need to be contacted to add a
compression option to the CD images on the FTP server?
