You might want to use the "short file name" version of the path, which 
is probably c:\progra~1\winzip\winzip32.exe. Open a DOS prompt and use 
DIR /X to versify the short name.

(I'll also put in a plug for the the free, cross platform Info-Zip 
utility, which provides source code and precompiled versions of a PKZip 
compatible tool for lots of platforms. The basic utility is available as 
a command line tool, which is what you want for scripting, with 
different GUI utilities for different platforms. It's fast and powerful. 
It's available from http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/ . No support for 
.gz format, unfortunately, but you produce .zip files on your server 
with the Zip tool). 

One of the standard Unzip parameters is -p, which extracts the file to a 
pipe (defaults to stdout, afaik), and -c which extract to stdout. When 
uses with Analog, Analog captures this output as though it was reading 
the file from disk itself).

Hi-

I have a config file that includes the following commands:

UNCOMPRESS *.gz, *.z "c:\program files\winzip\winzip32.exe -cd" (I also 
tried "c:\program files\gzip\gzip -cd")
LOGFILE *.gz

I'm using NT Server 4.0 with Analog 3.3/Win32.  I need to have analog 
unzip logfiles and then analyze them.  The format of the logfile name 
is:  radsmile.monthdate.gz (ex: radsmile.Apr1.gz).  When I manually 
unzip the files, they are all named radsmile.tmp, and then I can rename 
them and have them all in the same directory.  Running analog now only 
generates an empty report that shows the General Summary and 0 
successful requests.  I've looked through the readme and it says that a 
path has to be given for analog to unzip the files, which was my reason 
for trying winzip.  I do not understand what it means by unzipping the 
file to a standard output instead of a file.  Is it not working because 
all the unzipped files have the same name?  If someone could please 
explain this furthur I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jessica
