#3 Unzip messing up palm os memory
Hi,
I have been using ZLib's unzip functions. It was a very
nice improvement for my software. It is used for a Sales
Force Automation program.
I receive the files via FTP and now I can download them
zipped. That gives us quite a saving in communication
costs.
I have realized that in some cases I can have un
improper use of the zip files and end up messing up
palm's memory system. What signals to me that it has
happened is that when I run the option "App/Delete"
from the palm's home and scroll the file list until its end I
get the error "Free Handle. MemoryMgr Line 4384".
I have created a function to encapsulate the unzip
function of a file stream and I am not sure whether the
problem may be in it. If you want me to send it to you,
just let me know.
Things have been going well, but right now, I have more
than 300 c505 IBM workpads in the field with users and
every time they try to receive data using the FTP they
get this error. My next step is collecting all devices and
reinstalling the program.
Do you have any idea that could help me in:
1 - Making sure that the problem doesn't happen any
more ?
2 - Trying to fix the memory after the problem has
happened ?
Thanks very much for any help you may give me,

searching through some groups I found a reference to a
possible cause of the error. It is at:
