Hi all,

I am trying to get a zip (for VMS of couse (VAX or AXP - does not matter) which can make multiple zip files. I would like to zip lots of files (with lots of Gsmiley to multiple zip files.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

the usual zip/unzip on VMS is the info zip one and The current stable versions are available on the VMS freeware site
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/freeware/freeware80/000tools/

beta releases of the next versions of this can be found at
http://www.antinode.org/ftp/info-zip/

There is also gzip

and bzip2

Here are my findings:

I managed to download zip30f source files. I successfully built an .exe file. Also I was able to make two zip files (.zip and .z01). I transfered these two files (binary transfer) to Windows platform and I tried to unpack them. Zip reports that the .zip file is corrupt - it just does not know how to handle multiple volumes.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

The official sources for new things are the often-dead Info-ZIP FTP
server:
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/
and the more reliable SourceForge server:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=118012

Much of the stuff on my server is unofficial and/or untrustworthy.
(So don't come crying to me when it causes death and/or destruction.)

Unpack them with what? (Name? Version?)

Zip 3.0f seems to be in pretty good condition, but the whole
split-archive feature may or may not be compatible with non-Info-ZIP
archivers, so I would not recommend using it if I were taking an archive
to a Windows system where I had some other Zip-like program.

Did you try creating a single (non-split) archive using Zip 3.0f?
The zip program you have on Windows may do better with one large archive
than it will with a split archive. At least one (other Windows) program
should be large-file capable:

In principle, UnZip 6.00c could do the job on Windows, but I don't
know where you can get a Windows binary kit for it.

Just re-visiting.. No more hobbyist licenses? Is that from vmssoftware.com, no 'community' licenses?

I recall that the disks failed on the public access VMS systems that included Fafner

At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.

Eisner, which is currently being moved, got an SSH update and the keys were updated to more modern encryption standards.
