[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Major, serious failure in Foxbase v

I don't think v2.1 fixed it entirely. I have a couple of .dbf files with about
2000 records each. When I tried to pack it, it would tell me something to the
effect of "Unable to create pack.???" I had about 6 Megs free HD space, and the
.dfb files were about 1.2 megs and 300K. I simply bought a larger hd, but I am
still puzzled as to why it would need so much hd space to pack a file. Call me
naive, but couldn't it be done with at most enough hd space to hold a copy of 
the largest .dbf file?
