>We like to unzip a file from within our VFP 6.0 program. So we call pkunzip to do the job (!PKUNZIP ...) On most machines this works fine but on one machine we get the message 'Cannot find command.com'. However we can start a dos-prompt and even pkunzip manually. The machine has a correct path and comspec. There is no FoxRun.pif because there is no VFP6.0 installed but if I create one it won't work. Even make copies from the command.com to all common directories won't help.

Macer and Ed have some good ideas, but there is one other possibility that you might want to check out: Maybe your disk partition is failing or you have a mis-matched boot tracks and command.com so that they don't recognize each other. I have seen this occasionaly when doing some fast-n-loose system upgrades where I got sloppy on which OS was installed to begin with... Other than that, I agree with the recommendation to look into DynaZip -- there was a recent article in FPA about it, too.
