Help, everytime I try to execute these files I get the error

These are the culprits:
PKUNZIP.EXE

Perhapse you should think about getting more RAM? Or remove some of your TSR's? If CHKDSK reports less than 490K of available memory, then you ought clear out your ram. After all (if memory serves), PKUNZIP will run in less than 350K of ram! - David -- David Kessner - david@kessner.denver.co.us | 1135 Fairfax, Denver CO 80220 (303) 377-1801 (p.m.) | This space for rent.

I have "unzipped" and "unarced" fairly large files (using pkunzip.exe and pkunpak.exe), and I have sometimes had problem with memory. The reason I point this out is that I'm doing this on an IBM XT (4.77MHz) with only 320k RAM (327,680 is the exact amount). With Procomm running I only have 167k left! (I just checked.) SS

If you transferred them to your PC with Kermit, did you remember to tell the mainframe Kermit to SET FILE TYPE BINARY before the transfer? Mainframe Kermits default to text mode which messes up binary files.

(I just checked.) > You should definitely consider getting more RAM. If your XT has a full motherboard, a card to bump you to 640K should be cheap. At computer flea markets, you can get an AST 6-pak Plus for under $100. This card'll give you 640K, a serial port, a parallel port, a joystick port, and a clock. Well worth it for an XT.
