Jesica, what happens if you specify a single logfile, rather than
LOGFILE *.z ?
What happens if you type
c:\program files\gzip\gzip -cd radsmileApr15.z
at your DOS prompt (in the Analog directory)?
The error message suggests that gzip is not being found (or that one of
it's DLLs is not being found).
I have 3 suggestions
1) Use "C:\PROGRA~1\GZIP\GZIP -cd" (get rid of the space).
2) If GZIP doesn't need a bunch of DLLs, copy it to your Analog
directory, or
3) If it does use DLLs, put the GZIP directory on your PATH.

Hi-
I'd like to thank everyone who replied to my original message. I appreciate all
the
help. Unfortunately, I'm still having problems with unzipping .gz (or .z) files
on
NT Server 4 running Analog 3.3. Here's what I did: I downloaded gzip and
installed
it in my program files directory. The line from my logfile for uncompressing
now
reads:
UNCOMPRESS *.z "c:\program files\gzip\gzip -cd"
LOGFILE *.z
I ran analog from the dos prompt so I could see the warnings and errors and this
is
what I got:
analog.exe: Warning F: Problems uncompressing logfile radsmileApr15.z
The name specified is not recognized as an internal or exteral command, operable
program or batch file.
Also, this warning appears after many other warnings. Since Analog has to unzip
the
file to read it before it generates the report, shouldn't it be at the
beginning?
There actually are a few lines that I can't read because they were cut off of
the
screen from the start of the program so there might be more. Are there any
other
commands that I'm missing for the config file to get this to work correctly?
Thanks
again for the help, I'm pretty lost with this.
