The Question is:

 
Do you know of anyway to create self extracting executable files under
OpenVMS?
 

The Answer is :

 
  There are two approaches, one involves the use of the SFX component
  of Zip present on the OpenVMS Freeware, the other involves acquiring
  and using the Compaq FTSO package.
 
     $ zip zipfile.zip sourcefiles.mumble
     $ copy UNZIPSFX.EXE-AXP,zipfile.zip selfextractingzipfile.exe
 
  UNZIPSFX is available in [INFO-ZIP] on the OpenVMS Freeware.
