Lars brings up a good point.  Of course the results of the CCTL  or NOCCTL
options or not using them depends upon whether the two files (from and to)
files involved in the fcopy have file equations or disc labels with carriage
control specified.  For the more information, I refer you to the discussion
of the CCTL/NOCCTL options in the FCOPY Reference manual.  If I understand
correctly, in this use the goal is create a file that contains the carriage
control characters *as data* so that the underlying process used by the zip
routine does not *help* by removing the carriage control.  As the reference
manual states, there are many ways to slice that bread.
