Subject:	SCOUG-Help: more with error codes: ZTree + PKZ

Content Type: text/plain

Hi Steven,

Here are some more of those error codes I don't have:
14, 1, and (in particular) the ever-popular #11. Just
had one of those recurrent, very annoying failures to
package a bunch of files, in which I kept getting
roadblocked by that error. All files were either .PDF
or .Htm, 2 or 3 levels down in subdirectories. I kept
shortening and simplifying the filenames, in an effort
to uncover just what the hangup might be. No illegal
characters. It can't be underscores or hyphens -- I
use those all the time, without triggering this error.
After the repeated shortenings, it should not be
filename length either. I thought it might involve
spaces between words, such as

\SN Series

as opposed to

\SN_Series or \"SN Series"

but apparently not. It's not a Path thing or an EA
thing -- this time. Then I'm thinking that PKZ 2.50
for DOS just does not like certain file types .

But in the end, I'm thinking PKZip (at least working
under another program like ZTree) is simply buggy.
(And that was the last version we had for OS/2.) I'm
thinking that because I remembered that ZTree lets you
cycle through whatever archivers you have in
ARCHIVER.BB2. Changing the selector to (non-PK) Zip
made the error go away, on the first try, and I have
my intended archive.
