Bob, ZIP was run this weekend against some large files, using the cmsmvs version ZIP module.
For zipping files over 7GB, I got the following error: zip warning: Entry too big:HLQ.Q2.Q125.DN2008Q5 zip error: Entry too big to split, read, or write (Poor compression resulted in unexpectedly large entry - try -fz) As a work around I specified -fz, I see that specifying this worked for you according to the Info-ZIP thread discussions, so specified it and worked for a majority of the files to ZIP. Now, I'm not sure if the apply of the patches in the diff file was correct as you mentioned this issue was resolved. Also I had made the changes manually (and using the patch command). Do you perhaps have the correct GNU patch command to apply the fix automatically? I've tried : patch -u -p1 < zip31-try04.diff and I get some rejects as a result. Thanks for all your help, Vikesh Please Note: This email and its contents are subject to our email legal notice which can be viewed at http://www.sars.gov.za/Email_Disclaimer.pdf ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
