However, it might be possible to "post process" by doing something like: wget -O - http://url/file.zip |\ #get the file jar xv |\ #unzip and list names to stdout cut -d ':' -f 2|\ #remove prefix output sed 's/^ //' |\ #remove extra blank at the start of the filename while read i;do a2e "$i";done where you have some program (or shell script) called a2e which will convert the contents of the file passed to it from ASCII to EBCDIC. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
