Of course, there is a version of ZIP with a real VMS CLI and one
without.

The CLI version supports the UN*X-like syntax as well.

Almost. It does if the first character is "-". However, as the help
screen says, this is not necessarily the case with the unix syntax. In
that case, it gives an error.

Apologies in advance - I know Netscape is going to mangle this...

DJAS01::DDACHTERA$ zip -?
Copyright (C) 1990-1997 Mark Adler, Richard B. Wales, Jean-loup Gailly,
Onno van der Linden, Christian Spieler and Igor Mandrichenko.
Type 'zip "-L"' for software license.
Zip 2.2 (November 3rd 1997). Usage: zip=="$disk:[dir]zip.exe"
zip [-options] [-b path] [-t mmddyyyy] [-n suffixes] [zipfile list] [-xi
list]
The default action is to add or replace zipfile entries from list,
which
can include the special name - to compress standard input.
If zipfile and list are omitted, zip compresses stdin to stdout.
-f freshen: only changed files -u update: only changed or new
files
-d delete entries in zipfile -m move into zipfile (delete
files)
-R recurse into directories -j junk (don't record) directory
names
-0 store only -l convert LF to CR LF (-ll CR LF
to LF)
-1 compress faster -9 compress better
-q quiet operation -v verbose operation/print version
info
-c add one-line comments -z add zipfile comment
-@ read names from stdin -o make zipfile as old as latest
entry
-x exclude the following names -i include only the following
names
"-F" fix zipfile("-FF" try harder) "-D" do not add directory entries
"-A" adjust self-extracting exe "-J" junk zipfile prefix (unzipsfx)
"-T" test zipfile integrity "-X" eXclude eXtra file attributes
"-V" save VMS file attributes -w append version number to stored
name
-h show this help -n don't compress these suffixes

Hhmmm... Don't see any options that don't begin with "-".

What am I missing?
