So how about other zip suggestions.

I am really stuck at the defintion point of the program.

I cannot proceed without them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Not sure what you mean by definition point.

Re: Whatever packer/zip you expect to use, check this:

Config/External/Unpacker

Do you see a "tick" mark at the right-hand end of the ZIP entry. If you
don't, that's one possible reason why you're having a problem. The
unpacker(s) that you wish to use should either be on your path or in
OpenXP's root directory.

For example.. here is my config:

ÚÄ Archive unpacker for... ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿
³ ³
³ ARC pkxarc $ARCHIV $DATEI  ³
³ ³
³ ARJ arj e $ARCHIV $DATEI  ³
³ ³
³ LZH lha e $ARCHIV $DATEI  ³
³ ³
³ PAK pak e $ARCHIV $DATEI  ³
³ ³
³ RAR rar e $ARCHIV $DATEI  ³
³ ³
³ SQZ sqz e $ARCHIV $DATEI  ³
³ ³
³ ZIP unzip $ARCHIV $DATEI  û ³
³ ³
³ ZOO zoo -e $ARCHIV $DATEI  ³
³ ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ [F2] ÄÙ


The only entry that has a tick (hopefully your reader will show it) is the line with ZIP because I do not use any of the others. I have the "unzip" program in the OXP's home directory.

Also, do you see error messages related to packing in LOG/ERRORS.LOG ?

Hello Alan,

So how about other zip suggestions.

There are so many options to zip stuff. When working at the command line I have
been useing Info-Zip's Zip and Unzip since OS/2 many years and now I still use it on linux.

In a lot of cases PKWare's PKZIP and PKUNZIP is a good option too, a lot of software is pre-configured for it.

I am really stuck at the defintion point of the program.

Archiver command lines can be a real PITA. I don't know what software you are trying to configure but I could share what I use with HPT if it would help.

I cannot proceed without them.

In the FTN world it is possible to just use raw .pkt files between nodes, then no archivers are needed but the Info-Zip and PKWARE products are usually workable in my experience although there may be a road to travel there. :)
