OMVS will create a POSIX-compressed file with "pax -zw" Most desktop systems will create a deflated (gzip) file with "pax -zw". Linux et al. will automatically detect deflated format and inflate it, but won't recognize the POSIX compressed. However, "pax -rz" will expand either deflated or POSIX compressed files. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
