ERRORS.DOC December 1995 The following error messages may appear when using ARJ. A brief explanation of each message follows: does not exist The file could not be found on the disk. This error may occur in a multiple volume extraction if ARJ is trying to extract a split file. If this split file is not the beginning of the file, ARJ will look for the beginning of the file on the disk. If this file is missing, ARJ will report this error. This error will also occur during an extraction to freshen existing files. exists The file already exists on the disk. is not an ARJ archive The file does not have a valid ARJ archive header in the initial portion of the file. This file may not be an ARJ archive or it may be damaged. is not the same date/time The file that is being appended to does not have the correct file date-time stamp. This message occurs during multiple volume extraction when the portion of the file on disk does not match the portion in the archive. This can happen if a multiple volume extraction was interrupted by a "quit" response. is same or newer The file has the same or newer file date-time stamp than the matching file in the archive. Archive name argument missing The ARJ command is missing the name of the ARJ archive filename. Arg table overflow There are more than 64 arguments on the ARJ command line. *** Valid ARJ-SECURITY envelope signature: This message is displayed when ARJ has verified that the archive has a valid ARJ-SECURITY envelope. This indicates that the archive contents are intact and unmodified as originally distributed by the individual identified in the text that follows this message. Bad command syntax The ARJ command line is not correct syntactically. Bad file data The file in the ARJ archive is damaged and has invalid data in it. It is not possible to recover this file in an undamaged format. Bad file data or bad password The file in the ARJ archive is damaged or you may have supplied the wrong password to the "-g" option. Check the password that you specified. Bad header The ARJ archive file description information record is damaged. Bad or missing SECURITY key An invalid or missing security key was provided to ARJ. Check to see if the security key is correct. Break signaled The user pressed Control C or Control BREAK. Can't copy temp to archive This error usually means that there is not enough disk space to copy the intermediate archive file to its destination drive. ARJ does not purge the intermediate archive file in this situation so that the file can be copied manually to a drive with enough disk space. Can't delete ARJ cannot delete the file . Most likely, the file is in use or is set as readonly. Can't find The file does not exist. Can't find restart file: The file does not exist. Can't find restart information During the scan of the specified index file, ARJ could not find a line of text similar to the following: Next volume - 001 1 19931 C:\ARC\VGA640.DRV This can happened if the index file is damaged or was created by a version of ARJ prior to 2.39. Can't get volume label ARJ could not read the volume label of the drive specified. Can't handle ARJ-SECURITY version This version of ARJ encountered an ARJ-SECURITY envelope version of which it does not know how to verify the integrity. Can't make directory ARJ could not create the directory . The name may already exist. Can't open ARJ cannot open the file . The file may be set to readonly or it may already be in use. Can't order a multiple volume archive Re-ordering a multiple volume archive is NOT allowed. Can't read file or unexpected end of file This error message usually occurs if the end of the file has been reached when ARJ is expecting more data. Can't rename to ARJ could not rename . The target filename may already exist. Can't reset ARJ could not reset the archive bit attribute of . Can't seek to position in file ARJ could not seek to the position in the file. This file may not be as large as the position specified. Can't update an ARJ-SECURED archive! Modification of an ARJ-SECURED archive is NOT allowed. Can't use -jt1 or -jt2 with -e or -e1 ARJ always uses the filename stored in the archive to access the file during the compare operation. The -e and -e1 options strip significant information from the filename. Can't use -v with -je1 The small self-extraction module does not support multiple volume archives. Can't write file. Disk full? Self-explanatory. CRC error The file in the ARJ archive is damaged and has invalid data in it. It is not possible to recover this file in an undamaged format. If this error is encountered when ARJ initially starts up, this indicates that the ARJ runfile is probably damaged. Critical device error A DOS critical error has occurred. ARJ has trapped this error condition and returned a error. *** Damaged ARJ-SECURED archive! This ARJ archive has been damaged or corrupted. The contents of the archive are not in the same condition as when it was created. Delete argument missing The ARJ delete command requires that a filename or wildspec be specified on the command line. It does not assume "*.*". *** Detected an OBSOLETE ARJ-SECURITY envelope. NOT verified! ARJ has detected a version 1 ARJ-SECURITY envelope. ARJ has not verified the validity of the ARJ-SECURITY envelope because of the obsolescence of version 1 envelopes. Exceeded maximum path size of at The maximum pathname length is limited in size to characters. Exceeded name limit of at The number of filenames encountered by ARJ has exceeded the documented limited of filenames. File is password encrypted ARJ is skipping the current file because it is password encrypted (garbled) and no password has been specified on the command line with the "-g" option. Found error(s) ARJ has encountered of non-fatal errors. Garbled files are not allowed for SFXJR The small self-extractor module does not support the extraction of garbled files. Header CRC error The file description header record in the archive is damaged. This cannot be fixed. The use of the "-jr" option will allow the recovery of files after the damaged section. Invalid command: The specified is not a valid ARJ command. Invalid comment header This error should never happen. Invalid date string: The date contains an invalid date. It should be specified in YYMMDDHHMMSS format where YY represents the two digit year, MM represents the month, DD represents the day, HH represents the hour, MM represents the minutes, and SS represents the seconds. Invalid multiple volume file sequence ARJ has detected a sequence error in a series of multiple volume archives. This error should never occur. Invalid parameter string: The parameter string is not correct syntactically. Invalid switch:
