I'm interested in sending data between an RS6000 and a IBM 3090 running VM/CMS. Is there a compression code that I can use that would allow me to compress on the RS6000 and decompress on the VM. The 3090 uses EBCDIC so I need to do data conversion as well. Thanks, Ravi -- Jose C.

Compression code? Why? (I am not employed by IBM Corporation ... just a rooter). _______________________________________________________________________ Alan R. Weiss TIVOLI Systems, Inc.
