Memory

[Andy]

Hi Kevin,

tried to send this to you by email, but it bounced. Actually, perhaps it is interesting for others:

could you please explain what kind of memory (virtual, temporary etc.) VCLZip will use when writing zip archives onto

a) local drive
b) network drive

Some users still get the message "Not enough room to write archive", although they have enough of free drive space on he working drive and on the target drive, too.

Strange board.

Actually I did get your email and already replied. But you are right, its good to share info here.

This error would indicate that the last write to disk was not able to
write the complete buffer, typically caused by "out of disk space", but
it doesn't have to be this. All VCLZip knows is that the last write
was not complete, but this is usually because disk space has run out.

If this is an update to an existing archive, then the shortage of disk
space would be where the temp directory is, otherwise it is the target
directory.
