I'd assumed it would be relatively simple to implement similarly in lasso9 but did find early on that the usage syntax is different enough that it will require a different codebase.

I haven't used it yet, but Lasso 9 has quite a bit of functionality built in, for both reading and creating zip archives.

That isn't to say, there's no room for expanding that capability.

I see no downside with posting your work on tag swap. There's probably quite a few people who will not want to compile the Java code. I would assume, your code provides a good example of working with os_process. And apparently, it's not that obvious that Lasso 8.x has any capability regarding zip archives.

I'd suggest posting your code.
