 JP> Frustrating a little, no ? As I wrote above, if BWREPFIX is used in

 DC> See above.  

 DC> For one thing, that should be be "bwrepfix.Bat", with a
"B"!  

I was referring to the BWPACK.BAT file internals. 
That BAT file would need to be in the D:\BWAVE directory, along with 
the BWREPFIX.EXE & PKZIP.EXE files. 

In: 
Archivers

It would be: 
ZIP Compression   D:\BWAVE\BWPACK.BAT ZIP {at}F {at}I


I finally realized why I stuck with version 060, rather then upgrading 
to 062: The BAT file became more complicated. 

Sorry Jean! 

That ZIP in the line is required. 
It tells the BAT file which line to use (PKZIP.EXE) for compressing 
the REP packet.
