If the PC is just an "intermediate" location, i.e. you package files on
a 3000 and they unpack them on another 3000, then the tar that comes with
MPE is probably the easiest...

 :chdir /where/your/files/are
 :/bin/tar "-cvzf /tmp/for-xfer.tar.Z"

Use binary transfer to send/ftp/whatever (with target bytestream file,
e.g. in DOS ftp use quote type L 8 instead of binary), and unpack on the
target 3000 with something like...

 :chdir /where/your/files/should/go
 :/bin/tar "-xvzof /tmp/from-xfer.tar.Z"

Using the z option with MPE tar makes it (un)compress in the same run.


On the other hand, if you prefer using a .zip compatible format for
your file packaging... the InfoZIP freeware has been ported to MPE/iX
(and /usr/local/java/latest/bin/jar handles .zip files as well)...

Or, if your just want the two NMPRG files without source, docs, etc:
