I think you guys may want to run some hardware diagnostics on whatever
machines these documents are getting corrupted on so frequently. If MSo
or zip software was as unreliable as you guys make it sound, nobody
would use them.
For the record, I've zipped multigigabyte Oracle exports every day for
the past 10 years. I use them regularly to load data into devlopment
databases. I've never had a problem problem. I work with large MSo
docuemnts pretty regularly to. I zip them, encrypt them, and and copy
them around. Same story there. Never a problem. Are you sure someone
isn't FTPing these things between platforms as ascii instead of binary docs?
YMMV - and obviously it has ;-)
