Hi

Thanks for your post.

$pipe backup f.lis sys$output:/save_set | zip > f.zip
Are you sure it really worked ?

BACKUP will not do it :
$ backup f.lis sys$output:/save_set
%BACKUP-F-INVDEVTYP, invalid backup device type SYS$OUTPUT:.;

So you really have zipped nothing

Even this will not work (not creating a saveset)
$ backup f.lis      sys$output:
%BACKUP-F-INVDEVTYP, invalid backup device type SYS$OUTPUT:.;

I tried with the COPY command to see if ZIP would at least do the work 
right, and the resulting F.ZIP is unusable. Maybe it can be fixed, that`s 
still to see but unless a saveset works, I will not look at that yet :

$ pipe copy   f.lis      sys$output:          | zip > f.zip
adding - (stored 0%)
$ unzip f.zip

     Error:  zipfile is in variable-length record format.  Please
     run "bilf l f.zip" to convert the zipfile to stream-LF
     record format.  (Bilf.exe, bilf.c and make_bilf.com are included
     in the VMS UnZip source distribution.)
