Hi Patrik

These commands are not "ages" old - they first appeared in 7.2, which was 2014.

Glad to help a little, Gad. I wish that IBM was more specific in the help text - the word "archive" is too vague, in my opinion - there are so many different archive formats.

… meanwhile.

I believe the help text hasn't been touched in ages. When it was current, there was probably not much more recognized than pkzip.

I'm not surprised. IBM seems to avoid touching CPF as far as possible.

:wq! PoC
