An update to my own post. Tom Brennan found this on the web: "In 2002, PKWARE purchased Ascent Solutions, Inc. (ASi), which was founded in 1993 and had grown to become the leading provider of PKZIP for mid-range and mainframe systems such as AS400 and MVS. With this acquisition, PKWARE is now positioned to provide a complete portfolio of PKZIP-enabled secure data compression solutions across all major enterprise platforms."
The product we trialed is probably now PKWARE. Simplifies the choices, I guess... . . .
