Chris, thanks. (Thanks too, to Glenn Cole who also pointed me to Neil
Harvey's port of zip and unzip.) But unless I'm missing something, this
looks like it runs in the POSIX shell, not native MPE. Please tell me
I'm wrong, but it seems I'd have to get either gzip or lzw, get that
running in POSIX, then upload zip/unzip to my 3000 and use [gzip or lzw
[and tar?]] to put them in their proper format, and all this in POSIX --
no offense, but I was really looking for an MPE solution, you know,
something like ':RUN ZIP.UTIL.SYS;INFO="<FILESET>,<ARCHIVE>"'

Or does it do this once it's on my MPE box? I'm not internally
POSIX-compliant yet ;-) (which is to say I haven't used it much and am
still a bit uncomfortable with it -- POSIX-challenged?).

Patrick, who isn't sure but suspects this is all easier than he thinks.
