Re: Question for the ZLIB on OS/400 experts

Does anybody know of an easy, efficient way to [update one file
in a zipped archive], short of unzipping everything into an empty
IFS directory, updating REZROV.pdf, and re-zipping the contents
of the empty directory?

John Yeung replied:
Is there any reason you can't use jar or ajar? For example,

jar uf FROBOZZ.zip REZROV.pdf

(I have not tested that on the i; but that jar command is supposed to
do exactly what you are asking.)

That makes a great deal of sense, and I never even thought of using JAR. I'll run some response time tests next week.

(I wonder if anybody caught the Infocom references this time).
