I'll second this. ShopzSeries is very difficult to interact with in a number of ways (on the days when it's working at all, since parts of it seem to be tied to the "new" IBMlink infrastructure). It would be very helpful to have a TCPNJE delivery option that could be set up on-demand (which would be nice for VM and z/OS delivery) -- order something, provide an destination hostname or IP address and port number, and then just start a link on my local RSCS and watch it go. Ultimately, something like Debian's apt-get interface would be ideal (it's based on http) and is as simple as 'apt-get install xxxxx' and the tool goes out and checks a list of locations, downloads the xxxxx package and stores it on the local system, optionally invoking a installation process if desired. DownloadDirector usually mangles VM files in ways that aren't friendly, and it doesn't understand structured files at all, so you end up with problems like the OP's problem with TERSE, etc, etc.
