WRUZ is the Windows based VB3 zipper/unzipper. Warning: On Maximus boards using an OS/2 packer, replies fail while being unpacked. The solution for now is to use pkzip.exe for DOS instead of using WRUZ to pack replies. EllTech has been made aware of this. ===================================================================== WRUZ.exe requires the use of four additional files: VBRun300.dll - Visual Basic run-time .dll (not included in this zip) I have this file available as vbrun300.zip Compress.dll - dll that does the actual uncomprssing and compressing (included in this zip) Threed.vbx - Visual Basic File (included in this zip) WARNING: there are at least three versions of this file floating around. Cmdialog.vbx - Visual Basic File (included in this zip) WARNING: there may be other versions of this file floating around. Copy compress.dll to your Windows\system directory. This is a unique file, and should not be available except for programs that use EllTech's code (vendor we got the routines from) Check your Windows\System directory for: Threed.vbx, and Cmdialog.vbx If these files exist with earlier dates than the ones provided in the zip file, rename the older files, and then copy the enclosed .vbx files into the Windows\System directory. Changes in command line in Waverdr.ini: [Packers] OpenZip=f:\mail\wruz.exe %f %d -o CloseZip=f:\mail\wruz.exe %f %d -c Notice the -o added to the OpenZip line. -o is for "Open", and -c is used in the CloseZip command line for "Close" the zip. Troubleshooting zipping and unzipping with WRUZ.EXE =================================================== WRUZ is hardcoded to use "-esi" switches, which are to use Shrink/Implode. This allows reply packets to be created that are still in 1.1x PKZIP format. (Allows greatest flexability). WRUZ will be called twice when closing WaveRdr, once to add the last read pointer file (if you have that chosen), and the second time to zip your replies. WaveRdr passes all pathing information to WRUZ from your WaveRdr.ini file. If any sort of error occurs, that's the place to look. [Paths] ReplyPath=f:\mail Temp Dir=c:\temp These two settings are the ones that will be queried. Double check that these directories really do exist.
