I remember a time when I used PKZIP on a machine running PC-Cache (part of PC Tools I think). The ZIP files created were all corrupt as well. It must have something to do with how PKZIP accesses the disk. Perhaps Phil Katz (if he's on the net) can shed some light. These days I use LHARC... although PK software is great, LHARC has the advantage of being in the public domain, including source, and thus usable across operating systems. Whether it suffers from the same problem I don't know, but I doubt it. Graham. Graham Wheeler | "Don't bother me, I'm reading a `Crisis'!"
