Yes, but you misunderstood me anyway.
You have a binary blob called a tar-file which you need to unpack. This
is done with a executable named tar. There are two executables on the
AS/400, and you and I have been using the wrong one. You need one that
understands code pages, and I've been told that there is a tar
executable lurking in the /OpenSys file system which DO. It is not the
blobs placement, but the executables placement I'm talking about.
Gotcha - sorry - I was obviously being dense.
Simply using QP2SHELL rather than QSH worked for me. If I ever have to do this via QSH in the future I'll check out the /OpenSys version.
I am _so_ happy I don't have to work on a Unix system! At least my Mac hides it all from me!PASE is in a very wicked way Unix, so you cannot escape :)
