Not all of us like messing around with the convoluted USS path, that's why.

Time to learn new tricks ? <vbg>
But seriously, it is not only matter of big HFS and managing (long) pathnames. It is also (unclear) "unpacking" hfs files into MVS datasets using GIMUNZIP.

BTW: I downloaded XML Toolkit. Approx. 650MB. First step was to unpax it into HFS files - at least another 650MB. Then GIMUNZIP it into MVS datasets. Another 650MB! Then perform SMP/E RECEIVE - from MVS datasets on dasd to SMP/E relfiles - that means another MVS datasets on DASD. So, you need *FOUR TIMES* more than package size (assuming no compression and no deletes during the process). It *could* be simpler, but it would be against SMP/E policy: to keep things as complex as possible.
