Ok. I compiled iconv.
But now I am stuck again and I don't know how to run unzip.exe...
To recap:
I downloaded http://vms.process.com/ftp/tcpware/vms/unzip-vax.exe
Then I used https://github.com/simh/simtools/blob/master/converters/mksimtape/mksimtape.c
And I did:
./mksimtape unzip-vax.exe >unzip.tap
In VMS I mounted the tape with:
$ mount/nolab MUA0:
%MOUNT-I-WRITELOCK, volume is write locked
%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, mounted on _MUA0:
$ copy mua0:unzip.exe unzip.exe
$ run unzip.exe
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image UNZIP.EXE
-CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file DUA0:[SYS0.][000000]UNZIP.EXE;2
-IMGACT-F-IMG_SIZ, image header descriptor length is invalid
but the file seems to be there:
Dump of file SYS$SYSROOT:[000000]UNZIP.EXE;2 on 29-DEC-2018 11:35:20.69
File ID (2339,22639,0) End of file block 292 / Allocated 294

What am I missing?
