There are times when you get so annoyed with IBM i that you just wanna run
out of the room screaming. OK I'm being overdramatic here but I am kinda
annoyed by one thing in particular.

I used to use the zip utility from here,

http://uzaemon.d.dooo.jp/#download

to zip and unzip .zip files on IBM i. However, that product has not been
updated to the latest ZLIB in a long period of time. So when I noticed that
IBM gave us the CPYTOARCF commands I was happy, but you can't supply that a
password. And, you always get the full directory path in the .zip and there
isn't a way to stop that that I know of.

So what do others do for their .zip files? Do you use a commerical product
or are you using ZLIB with minizip included? Are you building your own? I'd
love to know as I hate using 3rd party apps if I don't have to.


Thanks,
