JavaSoft-

I was hoping someone could help us from your area of the company.

I am the SyMON program manager. We are in the pre-alpha stage of developing a
Java based product that will provide a system administrator with the tools to
manage and dynamically reconfigure components of Sun servers.

CHALLENGE: We have a need to provide compression and data archiving from within
the product to the user. We looked at InfoZip but it requires licensing. We
were hoping someone else within Sun has already solved the problem.

QUESTION: How does JavaSoft implement compression and data archiving?

More . . .

Our subcontractor has a software requirement imposed by Sun to perform the task
of archive/compression in the code they are developing for Sun.

SyMON 2.0 features will allow the customer the ability to compress and archive
data files deep down within the SyMON product. Basically, with regards to SyMON,
the user sitting at the SyMON console will take some kind of action. This will
cause SyMON to begin archiving and compressing data files. The code being
executed at that moment is being built today by our subcontractor.

Encryption is not needed.

I would appreciate any advice you can provide or if you have someone I can
contact please let me know.

Thanks,

Bob Hodges
SyMON Program Manager
