I ran into this same thing with some Ruby files I was working with.  The 
only way I was able to consistently get the correct code page was to map 
a drive from my PC and then untar or unzip them from there.  Running 
untar from the shell never worked consistently for me (and I get 
confused about when to use QSH and QP2TERM or PuTTY for that matter 
despite nice clear explanations from Scott Klement).  So now, whenever I 
have any PASE installation, I unzip to the target folder in the IFS from 
Windows, *then* run whatever procedure or shell script that needs to be 
run after that from PASE.
