​A .jar file _is_ a .zip file, but with some specified contents, such as a
"manifest". The JAVA "jar" command can create a file which a standard
"unzip" utility can expand. It can also extract files from a standard zip
file. That is, it can act as a regular zip command. But a true .jar file
must have the .jar extension and have the proper contents to be used by the
java executable.​

​Correct. Since the attributes of an SVCDUMP are always FB/4160/4160, you
can do a BINary download to a PC, then do a BINary upload to z/OS if you
first do a "QUOTE SITE LRECL=FB LRECL=4106 BLKSIZE=4106".​

Once a government places vague notions of public safety and security above
the preservation of freedom, a general loss of liberty is sure to follow.
