- We seem to be having a problem here, having upgraded to 4.0 (one machine
- upgraded, one newly installed) with some DOS software...
-
- Specifically, if you use the compression programs PKZIP or InstallShield
- "compress", *on* the network drive to compress, the resulting uncompress
- action results in a corrup file. Compress on the local hardrive first,
- there is no problem.
-
- We were able to compress with these programs on the network drive with no
- corruption with 3.5
-
- Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions as to what might be wrong
- with out configuration to cause this, or is there a known bug...
-
- Much appreciated.
