Unzip.dll is supported in later versions. It is probably the default in
that ZTB will use it if it exists and will not search for unzip.exe. I
haven't test it, but I supect the archiver.bb2 still determines if pkzip
or unzip is selected.

It depends on what you mean by interchangably. Each utility has slightly
different options but this is rarely an issue. One benefit of pkzip is
that unshrink support will be built in. Some versions of unzip built by
the InfoZip team do not support unshrink for legal reasons. One can not
choose between unzip or pkzip from withing ztb, so in that sense they are
not interchangable.

That makes sense. You might try putting a single copy of archiver.bb2 in
a common directory that can be found in DPATH. ZTB may or may not search
via DPATH. You have to try.

True. DIfferent apps. Different rules.

Correct this feature was added to make it easy for ztb to use alternate
viewers.

Since there's more than one type of memory that you can run out of your
statement is logically false and, it appears, also false in practice.

If you had thought to post your TFC.CMD, I probably could already have
told you why you have a problem with it without needing to guess. Most
likely you are invoking tfc.cmd in a never ending loop and blowing
cmd.exe's stack and that is the memory you are running out of.

If your script is attempting to invoke tfc.exe with:

tfc

change it to:

tfc.exe

and your problem my go way. If not, post your tfc.cmd.

HTH,

Steven
