Where is your PKZIP program located? 
I recommend finding a copy of the old DOS 2.04g PKZIP & PKUNZIP to 
put in the BlueWave folder. 

Go through the BlueWave Setup and give everything a COMPLETE 
command line: 
example: 
 Download Directory C:\RBW\
 Upload Directory   C:\SND\
 Work Directory     G:\BW1\WORK\
 Reply Directory    G:\BW1\REPLY\
 Data Directory     C:\BW\DATA\


You did put the BWREPFIX program and batch file in the BlueWave 
folder? 

Do the same for the BWREPFIX: BWPACK.BAT file: 
(Change C:\BW\ to whatever your actual path is.)

{at}ECHO OFF
GOTO %1
ECHO.
ECHO The parameter "%1"
ECHO was not recognized.  Valid values are:
ECHO ZIP, OLDZIP, ARJ, LHA, PAK, ARC, and AUX.
ECHO Please re-check the BWREPFIX.DOC file and your Blue Wave Archiver
ECHO configuration, and make sure your archivers are configured correctly.
ECHO.
PAUSE
GOTO END
:ZIP
C:\BW\BWREPFIX.EXE %3
C:\BW\PKZIP -ex %2 %3
GOTO END
:OLDZIP
C:\BW\BWREPFIX.EXE %3
C:\BW\PKZIP.EXE -e0 %2 %3
GOTO END
:ARJ
C:\BW\BWREPFIX.EXE %3
C:\BW\ARJ a -e -y %2 %3
GOTO END
:LHA
C:\BW\BWREPFIX.EXE %3
C:\BW\LHA a /m /n2 %2 %3
GOTO END
:PAK
C:\BW\BWREPFIX.EXE %3
C:\BW\PAK a %2 %3
GOTO END
:ARC
C:\BW\BWREPFIX.EXE %3
C:\BW\PKPAK -a %2 %3
GOTO END
:AUX
::BWREPFIX.EXE %3
:: %2 %3
:END



Make sure to change your BlueWave configuration setup. 

Setup:
Archivers: 
 ZIP Compression   C:\BW\BWPACK.BAT {at}F {at}I
 ZIP Decompression C:\BW\PKUNZIP.EXE -o {at}F {at}I


I find that it is better to try to keep all of the programs and 
files in the BlueWave folder/directory when running it in the XP 
environment.
