Re: iSeries ZIP software

jar has some nice options - you might want to check it out, especially to suppress the creation of the manifest file that Java uses. You can specify the extension on the output, compression level (1 to 0, as I recall). It is probably kinda slow, as Scott says, but it is very serviceable. It creates ZIP files in the PKZIP format.

I think documentation is in the QShell manual.

A lot of folks have used 7zip successfully. Search the archives.

Is there any ZIP (compression) freeware available on the iSeries
platform? If so, can I get some opinions on which ones are the most
practical. Thanks!
