Re: V7R3 media - image catalogs

That works and I do that about 1/2 the time. If the bandwidth between me and the system is high I unzip with 7zip locally and FTP. If it's medium to low I do it on the i. It just seems slower there and of course most of us are more familiar with PC zip products than with jar.

Most of them will be zip files, so unzip them and use FTP to move them to
the IFS, ensuring BIN transfer.

Jim, this question is only tangentially related, but why not copy the ZIP file to the IFS and use jar to extract them?  Just curious.
