Sadly, it's all a dead end, because it looks like zip can't handle
this kind of filename:

It looks like all that "dots" stuff in the filename handling code
needs another wrinkle added for full MVS + USS support.
And the idea of piping out of and into tar doesn't work, because tar
(IBM's, at least) won't handle the filenames either.

What *will* work, though, is something like this:

followed by something like

or
> /u/myuserid/tmp/tmp/> unzip60 -p mvsjunk.zip > //test.ipnodes
to unpack it.
Not elegant, and you're limited to one (unnamed) file per archive.
You really don't have an archiver, just a compressor, like gzip or
bzip2. But it's usable for this limited purpose.
I haven't tried doing this with a "large" file - I don't have the
large file stuff stable yet -- and that was the whole purpose of this
exercise.
