I have Pc-Tools V8.0 and I can't get the option DELETE to work.
It doesn't even light up in my menu list. Any one know why or
has any one gotten it to work on their hard drive with files
that were just deleted????

I also can't get the UNZIP option in the compress menu to work.
I tried to unzip a copy of SCAN99.zip in my 2mb ramdrive with
the unzip option of Pc-tools and got a message that first
the files might over right existing files on my drive.
Then it said that it couldn't unzip the file because the directories
might already exist on my drive. My ramdrive was empty other than
just the one file (SCAN99.ZIP) so there couldn't be a problem
with either exicting directories or files.

Using pkunzip I unziped the file with no problem at all.
What gives with the NEW AND IMPROVED PC-TOOLS V8.0 FOR DOS????
Any help would be vary nice on this and would be greatly APPRECIATED!
