I don't think there was a System Exec with that feature for LabVIEW 5.0.1, but you may have to see on the NI Developer site as they did at some point have such a VI there which then got included in one of the next LabVIEW releases. But not sure if that was for 5.0. Chances are also that saving a 6.0 VI back to 5.0 might work but I'm not sure about the internals of the CIN used there. It may make use of CIN functionality not supported in LabVIEW 5. The lvZip library from OpenG however should be possible to downgrade to LabVIEW 5.x. There are only two VIs I think will cause problems and that are the Build Error Cluster.vi and the List Directory Recursive.vi both because they use the Delete Array primitive which wasn't available in LabVIEW 5.x.
