Re: Problems zipping RBF file

I had the exact same problem 2 weeks ago. The RDB backup file
would not zip. It seemed to think it did, but it only placed an empty
place holder in the zip file (no data, no content at all). I thought
all of the same things that are listed here. I figured it would be
easy, so I tried a quick upgrade of zip to the latest version before I
posted here. That fixed it! As I say, "I would rather have it fixed
and not know why, then have it broken (with no clear fix) and know
why!" I am very confident that the newest version of zip will fix
your problems. Just download it and replace your current zip.exe with it.

a) Yes, the current zip "works". I did once catch an error message
along the lines of "unexpected bytes past EOF"- I didn't capture the
exact message- with the older version.

b) It *shouldn't* work- my input file is nearly twice the expected
capabilities of zip 2.x. More work needs to be done...
