FTP won't work, as it doesn't support user-labels, which are included
with the root file.
 
DSCOPY does, OTOH, know about user labels.
 
I don't know about jazz's MOVER program, but Telamon's lzw compressor
programs know how to archive Image data-sets without your having to
change the file codes to non-priv values beforehand.  Just archive the
sets into one non-priv package, ftp it as a binary file, and then use
lzw to re-expand the data-sets back to their original form.
 
The ability to archive/dearchive the priv files is dependent on the
user's capability, BTW.
 
The lzw programs are available at:
