I was going with the "old fashioned" way of bring up the CBTTAPE.ORG web site, finding the file I want, clicking on it to download it to my PC, then uploading it to z/OS. I have done the "curl" into a UNIX subdirectory. And then "jar xf" to unzip it. I didn't know that you could da a RECEIVE on a UNIX file if you allocated it to a DD statement.
