   "-v" is a special case.  Anything more complex (with no
arguments), and it thinks that you're trying to use Zip as a
filter in a pipeline.  Which doesn't do well on VMS.

   On the other hand, with SET PROCESS /PARSE_STYLE =
EXTENDED, you could save yourself some keystrokes:

alp $ zip3l -V

zip error: Invalid command arguments (cannot write zip file to
terminal)

alp $ zip3l -v
