Unix system interoperability

GZIP or GZ Unix system tools generate GZIP archives. Those archives must be transferred in binary to the BS2000 and then can be read by BS2ZIP. Those archives cannot be modified with BS2ZIP.

By default, BS2ZIP extracts the archived file as a SAM file with BUF-LEN=STD(16). It is assumed that the line separator is a Line Feed (LF). Files can be also be extracted in binary PAM files with BUF-LEN=STD(16) are thus created.

Only gz files are supported; tar.gz files are not supported.
