Support MQ Compression on z/TPF

As more and more data is being shared with remote applications using MQ the need for data compression is increasing. We are requesting that the support for MQ compression as provided in MQ version 6 and 7 be added to the z/TPF MQ server installation. This would allow us to connect to remote systems with a standard compression algorithm. The support should include both inbound decompression and outbound compression. Tests with zLIB compression at the application level (before the MQPUT and After the MQ get) show that a significant increase in throughput and a reduction in system resources is attainable.
The above request would allow the following options on channel definitions providing support header and message compression using ZLIB compression algorithms. RLE compression ears to be supported on other platforms as well.

COMPHDR(ZLIBHIGH, ZLIBFAST, RLE, NONE)
COMPMSG(ZLIBHIGH, ZLIBFAST, RLE, NONE)
