This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------020601050808020206050705 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm not sure if you folks can help here, but I've already had this discussion in the comp.os.vms news group and am still baffled. I have a Self-extracting zip file I use to distribute software. It is created on an NT4.0 using WinZip and copied to my VMS server. My VMS server has Zip 2.2 (November 3rd 1997). I'd like to update one file in this SEzip file dynamically, on my VMS server. It seems to work, but when I download it back to my NT and run it, I get "zip file is damaged, truncated or has been changed since it was created..." I have tried MANY options on Zip 2.2, all to no avail. Note: this SEzip file works fine in its original form. In other words, if I don't try to update it, I can download back to my NT & run it - no problem. I guess my first question is, is there a fundamental difference in the way WinZip and InfoZip handle zipping that is making this impossible? If not, any suggestions on how I can get this to work?
