Message WZ8

This dialog box is displayed if an external command (for example, LHA or ARJ) is over 127 characters long (the longest command allowed under MS-DOS is 127 characters). The total command line length includes several components used internally by WinZip® in addition to the external command. There are a few ways to reduce the length of the command line:

• Move WINZIP32.EXE (and the related files) to a folder near the root folder (for example, a folder like C:\WINZIP is better than C:\WINDOWS\UTILITY\SHAREWAR\WINZIP).
• Move the archive you are working with to a folder near the root folder.
• Move ARJ.EXE, LHA.EXE, SCAN.EXE, etc. to a folder specified by your PATH= environment variable and remove any folder names for these programs in the Program Locations configuration dialog.
• If you are adding, deleting, extracting, or viewing multiple files at one time, specify them via a list box rather than an edit field. This causes WinZip to create an ARJ or LHA response file, which usually takes less room on the command line than multiple file names.
