  • ZIP utility new release - CL commands to compress and expand files

    In May 2009, as no system CL command was available on IBM i to zip and to unzip stream files, Easy400.net released a free tool (library ZIP) containing CL commands ZIP, UNZIP and DSPZIP.
    Those commands were based on a "zip" command imported into the Qshell during the installation of the utility.

    Eight years have gone since then, but today no such CL commands have yet been provided in OS release V7R3.

    Meanwhile, 1092 boxes did install the Easy400.net ZIP tool and developers seem to be quite happy with it.

    However, it was recently found that the Qshell "zip" command has problems in compressing an amount of data over 2 Gigabyte.

    This is why Easy400.net ZIP tool is now featuring a new CL command - ZIP2 - which overcomes the problem.
    ZIP2 is based on Qshell command "jar"; read about it at page http://www.easy400.net/zip/page3.htm .

    The Easy400.net is delivered with its CL and RPG sources, has no authorization keys, and ... is free.

    Anyone is welcome to download it - after registering - at site http://www.easy400.net .
