Re: iSeries ZIP software

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 jar has some nice options - you might want to check it out, especially 
to suppress the creation of the manifest file that Java uses. You can 
specify the extension on the output, compression level (1 to 0, as I 
recall). It is probably kinda slow, as Scott says, but it is very 
serviceable. It creates ZIP files in the PKZIP format.

I think documentation is in the QShell manual.
