- I recently obtained a copy of PKZIP version 2.04c and executed it at the
- DOS Prompt under Windows 3.1. After ziping the file, the DOS Prompt
- closed down, and I was unable to run any other applications (I got a
- message stating that I had no memory available. I can assure you I did
- - 4MB). I then exited Windows, and as Windows was exiting to DOS, I got
- the message "Memory Allocation Error. Unable to find COMMAND, system
- halted." I'm runing on a standard 486DX/33 with 4MB RAM. I was doing
- nothing unusual in Windows at the time of the incident, and even tried
- it again with the same results. Does version 2.04c simply not run under
- Windows? This is very disturbing.
