The following  error messages  may appear  when  using  PKLITE. A  brief
explanation  of  each  message along  with possible  solutions is listed
below.  The DOS errorlevel value returned with each error is also listed.

     1  Syntax Error

          This error appears when the PKLITE command line you have
          entered contains a syntax error.  When this occurs, PKLITE
          will print the help screen showing all the program options
          on the monitor.

     2  File extension must be EXE or COM

          The file you have attempted to compress does not have a .EXE
          or .COM extension.  If the file is in fact an executable
          file, you can rename the file with a .EXE or .COM extension
          and then compress it.

     3  Cannot open input file

          The file you have attempted to compress cannot be opened by
          PKLITE.  Either a disk error occurred, or the file is locked
          by another application.  You must make sure it is a true
          executable file.

     4  Could not open output file

          PKLITE could not create the output file.  Either a disk
          error has occurred, or the file is locked by another
          application.  If you have specified an output file, make
          sure it is a valid filename and location.


     5  Write error

          An error has occurred in writing a file to disk.  PKLITE is
          not able to write to a necessary file.  Either a disk error
          has occurred, or the file is locked by another application.

     6  Disk full error

          There is not enough disk space available on the destination
          drive for the file being created.  PKLITE never deletes the
          original file until it is finished writing the compressed
          file, therefore, there must be enough free disk space for
          the compressed file and the original file.  Try to free up
          more disk space.

     7  Read error

          PKLITE is not able to read a specified file.  Check the
          file;  it may be corrupted.

     8  Create error

          The named file could not be created.  Check the output
          directory; it may be invalid or full.

     9  Memory error

          There is insufficient memory available to process the
          command.  Try making more memory available.  PKLITE requires
          a minimum of 85K memory.

     10  Cannot compress file into itself

          The file being compressed and the output file are the same.
          When specifying an output file, make sure the output file is
          not the same as the input file.
          Incorrect:  PKLITE   pat.exe  pat
          Correct:    PKLITE   pat.exe

     11  EXE header error

          The header information of the file contains too much
          information to be compressed.  If memory is limited,
          increasing the amount of memory available to PKLITE may
          help.

     12  No extract code error

          You are attempting to expand a file (with -x) but the
          extract code is corrupted or missing.  Make sure the file
          has been compressed with PKLITE.

     13  Data error

          An error has been detected in the compressed data.  The file
          is corrupted.

     14  Compressing many files into one file error

          You are attempting to compress multiple files into one
          output file.  For example:  PKLITE  *.exe  file.exe.
          Correct the command line.

     15  Output wildcards error

          The output path/file cannot contain any wildcard characters
          ('*' or '?').  Correct the command line.
