I just posted this under a different subject but there are many choices. These are just the ones I have at hand and I am sure there are others. I don't think anyone has mentioned SLiKZiP, ZIP/390, or MegaCryption all viable alternatives to PKWARE. Some customers have found the pricing on PKZIP to be an issue.
Freeware Info-Zip http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/Zip.html#MVS Mini-Zip included in REVIEW convenience pack http://www.prycroft6.com.au/REVIEW/index.html See PDS members MINIUNZ & MINIZIP and minizip.txt note in documentation. Commercial SLiKZiP by ASE http://www.slikzip.com/ ZIP/390 by Data21 http://www.data21.com/products/zip/reports.asp?zip=390 MegaCryption/MVS offers zip and gzip compression features starting with version 5.3 http://www.megacryption.cc/ SecureZIP and PKZIP by PKWARE http://www.pkware.com/business_and_developers/security/zseries/ In dealing with vendors remember everything is negotiable. Consider to join ISVCOSTS to discuss T&C's, vendor pricing, competitive products with others users without vendor participation. John Anderson (IBM) no-vendors-allowed discussion list for open discussion by IBM customers of ISV cost issues. http://www.can.ibm.com/isvcosts/ Good Luck!
