Jean, I think the problem is that you are confusing the "ZIP" label 
in the batch file with the PKZIP.EXE program name. 

Listed below is the entire BWPACK.BAT file: 

========================================================================
{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.

I see you have been logging on from Doc's Place. 
Has that BBS been having any problems?
