RI>  I've got a quick question about an error message that I've noticed in my
RI> Allfix logs:

RI> X 09:17:09  Call D:\ARCHIVE\PKZIP.EXE -a \FD\INBOUND\NEWSATLE.ZIP *.*
RI> ! 09:17:09  Msg  Doserror 8 from D:\ARCHIVE\PKZIP.EXE

RI> Has anyone else seen this problem?  If so, what is it saying ('doserror 8'
RI> doesn't help much for troubleshooting), and what can be done to fix it?

I think "8" refers to the DOS errorlevel returned by PKZIP.
Slightly pruned "Manual.doc" file.....


PKWARE Inc.                   Trouble Shooting
ERROR MESSAGES

 This error code consists of the letter 'E' or 'W' and a number.
 The number corresponds to the DOS error level that would be
       returned.

PKZIP: (E[4-11]) Insufficient memory.

Insufficient memory is available to process the .ZIP file. Try making
more memory available to PKZIP.  If this does not rectify the problem
then the .ZIP file might be corrupted and PKZIPFIX should be used to fix
the .ZIP file.  If you are creating a new .ZIP file and receive this
message, it is due to an attempt to ZIP a large number of files.  Reduce
the scope of your command and try again.  If you are using a LIST file
in your PKZIP command you may be receiving this error because the LIST
file is too large.  See "List Files" for more information.
