  • problems with OpenXP

    From ALAN@1:135/392 to ALL on Tue Oct 12 10:55:28 2021
    Hi

    I am having problems with setting the compression section of OPenXP.

    It is not responding to pkzip, or unzip. Gzip does not work with logging
    on to my boss node.

    I had installed a program that is supposed~t to do all the methods, I
    needed RAR.

    So I tried to install it on my 32 bit machine and had the same problem.

    Anyone got a solution?

    First of all, I think OpenXP expects the archiver prog to
    reside in the OpenXP root directory.

    Other than that, maybe someone else will chip in. I don't
    compress my few outbound messages.

    OpenXP expects the packer to reside either in OpenXP's root directory or somewhere on the system path.

    Neither do I.
