True.... What I was trying to do is get a way form thrid party software link
winzip.
Hey David. I found this code on the internet. It has a problem that maybe
you can answear. I am getting an error "Run-time error '7' Out of memory".
I am sure that there is tons of memory. (1 gig + swapfile).
Here is the code:
I will flag the line with the error.
my code says " call uncompress("A:\TMP\MAGINFO.ZIP")

why does this give me an "out of memory" error.
