ArcMaster 8.4 has been configured to support the new switches and
options of PKZIP version 2.04c. Unfortunately, version 2.04c is
proving to be a flawed product with many, many bugs. New-Ware
recommends that you do not use version 2.04c of PKZIP.EXE and instead
use version 1.10 of PKZIP.EXE in conjunction with version 2.04c of
PKUNZIP.EXE. This strategy will avoid the bugs in inherent in version
2.04c of PKZIP.EXE while at the same time providing the capability to
extract all ZIP variants.
If you insist upon using version 2.04c with ArcMaster, New-Ware
strongly recommends that you configure AM with the following version
2.04c options set as indicated:
[X] -+ No EMS {disables EMS use}
[X] -- No XMS {disables XMS use}
[X] -~ No Network {disables Net operations}
[X] -) No DPMI {disables DPMI support}
You can access these options via the F-7 key when in the PKZIP
dialog.
You may also be forced to disable other options.
New-Ware strongly recommends that you do NOT rely upon the PKZIP
backup functions to archive your valuable data.
New-Ware strongly recommends against using the quick format
capability of PKZIP due to the fact that this function zeros all FAT
entries and does NOT preserve any FAT bad sector marking for the
target diskette.
Finally, if you are using version 1.10 of PKZIP and you keep getting
a PKZIP 1.10 help/info screen when you attempt to ZIP files, check the
option settings in the PKZIP dialog. This behavior indicates that
PKZIP is detecting a command line switch that it does not know how to
handle (a version 2.04c switch/option) which causes it to default to
the help screen instead of performing file compression functions.
