Gunnar,
My RBUDFZIP utility might be your answer. It is a way to use the RBase
UDF interface to run programs without using ZIP. It even works within
EEPs. It would be neat if it could solve your memory leak.
SET VAR vTmp = 'cmd /c copy filename.txt lpt5'
SET VAR vTmp = (UDF('RBUDFZIP.EXE',(.vTmp)))
Email me privately for more info.
