- ERRORS.DOC April 1993
-
-
- The following error messages may appear when using ARJ. A brief
- explanation of each message follows:
-
-
- <filename> does not exist
-
- The file <filename> could not be found on the disk. This error
- may occur in a multiple volume extraction if ARJ is trying to
- extract a split file. If this split file is not the beginning of
- the file, ARJ will look for the beginning of the file on the disk.
- If this file is missing, ARJ will report this error.
-
-
- <filename> exists
-
- The file <filename> already exists on the disk.
-
-
- <filename> is not an ARJ archive
-
- The file <filename> does not have a valid ARJ archive header in
- the initial portion of the file. This file may not be an ARJ
- archive or it may be damaged.
-
-
- <filename> is not the same date/time
-
- The file <filename> that is being appended to does not have the
- correct file date-time stamp. This message occurs during multiple
- volume extraction when the portion of the file on disk does not
- match the portion in the archive. This can happen if a multiple
- volume extraction was interrupted by a "quit" response.
-
-
- <filename> is same or newer
-
- The file <filename> has the same or newer file date-time stamp
- than the matching file in the archive.
-
-
- Archive name argument missing
-
- The ARJ command is missing the name of the ARJ archive filename.
-
-
- Arg table overflow
-
- There are more than 64 arguments on the ARJ command line.
-
-
- *** Valid ARJ-SECURITY envelope signature:
-
- This message is displayed when ARJ has verified that the archive
- has a valid ARJ-SECURITY envelope. This indicates that the archive
- contents are intact and unmodified as originally distributed by the
- individual identified in the text that follows this message.
-
-
- Bad command syntax
-
- The ARJ command line is not correct syntactically.
-
-
- Bad file data
-
- The file in the ARJ archive is damaged and has invalid data in it.
- It is not possible to recover this file in an undamaged format.
-
-
- Bad file data or bad password
-
- The file in the ARJ archive is damaged or you may have supplied
- the wrong password to the "-g" option. Check the password that
- you specified.
-
-
- Bad header
-
- The ARJ archive file description information record is damaged.
-
-
- Bad or missing SECURITY key
-
- An invalid or missing security key was provided to ARJ. Check
- to see if the security key is correct.
-
-
- Break signaled
-
- The user pressed Control C or Control BREAK.
-
-
- Can't copy temp <filename> to archive <filename>
-
- This error usually means that there is not enough disk space to
- copy the intermediate archive file to its destination drive. ARJ
- does not purge the intermediate archive file in this situation so
- that the file can be copied manually to a drive with enough disk
- space.
-
-
- Can't delete <filename>
-
- ARJ cannot delete the file <filename>. Most likely, the file is
- in use or is set as readonly.
-
-
- Can't find <filename>
-
- The file <filename> does not exist.
-
-
- Can't find restart file: <filename>
-
- The file <filename> does not exist.
-
-
- Can't find restart information
-
- During the scan of the specified index file, ARJ could not find
- a line of text similar to the following:
-
- Next volume - 001 1 19931 C:\ARC\VGA640.DRV
-
- This can happened if the index file is damaged or was created by
- a version of ARJ prior to 2.39.
-
-
- Can't get volume label
-
- ARJ could not read the volume label of the drive specified.
-
-
- Can't handle ARJ-SECURITY version <number>
-
- This version of ARJ encountered an ARJ-SECURITY envelope version
- of which it does not know how to verify the integrity.
-
-
- Can't make directory <directoryname>
-
- ARJ could not create the directory <directoryname>. The name
- <directoryname> may already exist.
-
-
- Can't open <filename>
-
- ARJ cannot open the file <filename>. The file may be set to
- readonly or it may already be in use.
-
-
- Can't order a multiple volume archive
-
- Re-ordering a multiple volume archive is NOT allowed.
-
-
- Can't read file or unexpected end of file
-
- This error message usually occurs if the end of the file has been
- reached when ARJ is expecting more data.
-
-
- Can't rename <filename> to <filename>
-
- ARJ could not rename <filename>. The target filename may already
- exist.

-
- ARJ could not reset the archive bit attribute of <filename>.

-
- Modification of an ARJ-SECURED archive is NOT allowed.
-
-
- Can't use -jt1 or -jt2 with -e or -e1
-
- ARJ always uses the filename stored in the archive to access the
- file during the compare operation. The -e and -e1 options strip
- significant information from the filename.
-
-
- Can't use -v with self-extraction
-
- The ARJ self-extraction modules do not support multiple volume
- archives.
-
-

-
- Self-explanatory.
-
-
- CRC error
-
- The file in the ARJ archive is damaged and has invalid data in it.
- It is not possible to recover this file in an undamaged format.
-
- If this error is encountered when ARJ initially starts up, this
- indicates that the ARJ runfile is probably damaged.
-
-
- Critical device error
-
- A DOS critical error has occurred. ARJ has trapped this error
- condition and returned a error.
-
-
- *** Damaged ARJ-SECURED archive!
-
- This ARJ archive has been damaged or corrupted. The contents of
- the archive are not in the same condition as when it was created.
-
-
- Delete argument missing

- The ARJ delete command requires that a filename or wildspec be
- specified on the command line. It does not assume "*.*".
-
-
- *** Detected an OBSOLETE ARJ-SECURITY envelope. NOT verified!
-
- ARJ has detected a version 1 ARJ-SECURITY envelope. ARJ has not
- verified the validity of the ARJ-SECURITY envelope because of

-
- The number of filenames encountered by ARJ has exceeded the
- documented limited of <number> filenames.
-
-

- ARJ is skipping the current file because it is password encrypted
- (garbled) and no password has been specified on the command line
- with the "-g" option.
-
-
- Found <number> error(s)
-
- ARJ has encountered <number> of non-fatal errors.
-
-
- Garbled files are not allowed for SFXJR
-
- The small self-extractor module does not support the extraction of
- garbled files.
-
-
- Header CRC error
-
- The file description header record in the archive is damaged.
- This cannot be fixed. The use of the "-jr" option will allow the
- recovery of files after the damaged section.
-
-
- Invalid command: <command>
-
- The specified <command> is not a valid ARJ command.
-
-
- Invalid comment header
-
- This error should never happen.
-

- represents the month, DD represents the day, HH represents the
- hour, MM represents the minutes, and SS represents the seconds.
-
-
- Invalid multiple volume file sequence
-
- ARJ has detected a sequence error in a series of multiple volume
- archives. This error should never occur.
-
-

-
-
- Invalid switch: <option>
-
- The switch option <option> is not a valid option.
-
-
- Invalid use of self-extraction switch

- 1440 are acceptable abbreviations.
-
-
- Missing filename argument for <command>
-
- A filename must be specified for <command>.
-
-

-
- The ARJ order command does not accept wildcards.
-
-

-
- This message is displayed when the contents of the filename in the
- archive does not match the contents of the same filename on disk.
-
-
- No available memory to store <filename>
-
- ARJ has run out of memory and cannot store the name <filename>.
- Specifying fewer filenames or using a listfile are two ways to
- work around the lack of memory.
-
-

- archival process that did not abort but actually completed.
-

-
-

-
- Self-explanatory.
-
-
- Order command file count mismatch
-
- This error should not happen. Please report this problem.
-
-
- Out of memory
-
- There is not enough memory for ARJ to complete its operation.
-
-
- Out of near memory
-
- There is not enough small model memory for ARJ to complete its
- operation. It can occur if there is a large amount of environment
- space allocated to environment variables. The use of "COMMAND /C

- This error should not happen. Please report this problem.
-
-
- Skipping a possible ARJ-SECURED archive
-

- This ARJ archive has been ARJ-SECURED and most probably is in the
- same condition as when it was created.
-
