5207.0. "LHWARP V1.40 Problems" by NZOMIS::SWALES () Fri Nov 15 1991 02:30

    I am trying to unpack a .LHW file I've just downloaded using VLTjr and
    ZMODEM. The file was compressed with WARP Ver 1.39. I'm using Ver 1.40
    of LHWARP.
    
    After my command 'LHWARP WRITE 1 DELUXE-DMS.LHW' I get prompted to load
    the destination disc in drive 0. Having loaded a blank formatted disc
    the error message 'unable to allocate trackdisc.device memory buffer'
    appears.
    
    I've had no problems with ZOO, ARC, LHARC, WARP, DMS102, yet I cannot
    get LHWARP to work.
    
    Checked MOUNTLIST DF0: and DF1: are both defined, I have BUFFERS = 20
    for both drives, I've checked s:Startup and I have ADDBUFFERS = 20 for
    both Drives, and finally I've upped the STACK for the CLI process to
    100,000.
    
    Run out of idea's, but bet it's simply solved.
    
    So helppppppppppp...

    Sorry, my previous note should have read, 'the file was compressed with
    LHWARP 1.39' 
    
    Cheers

    I got the same thing with lhwarp.  I glommed Lhwarp 1.39 and tried it
    and got an error saying something like, could not allocate
    trackdisk.device.  I threw everything connected with lhwarp away!  No
    more problems.

	I'm not at all sure about this as I haven't used LHWarp in quite a
	while.... but I think you need to use an UNFORMATTED disk to un-Warp
	something.  I may be getting confused with some other compression 
	program, but give it try and see what happens.
