There is a bug that can occurr with PKARC 3.5 when using some versions of MS-DOS 2.xx. This bug is only present with DOS version 2. All versions of DOS 3.xx work normally. Under DOS 2, if the current directory is the root directory of a drive, and a large file is archived, PKARC will abort with the error "Can't create ./$PKARC.CRN". This problem can be simply eliminated by using the PKARCTMP environment string to explicitly tell PKARC what drive/and or subdirectory to use for temporary files. To use the current drive, enter: SET PKARCTMP=/ at the DOS command line. See the file PKARC.DOC for more information on the PKARCTMP environment variable. -Phil Katz 6/8/87 .........15165368723..1200 N8
