GDB says it's failing in bcopy() while doing an fwrite() in deflating the file. It does this on BSDI 1.1 and BSDI 2.0. Recompiles with different memory options, versions, etc., all result in a core dump. I need to be able to zip files that will be compatible with PKZIP under DOS. Any ideas? -- Greg Hackney hackney@hia.net
