I have problems using PKZIP 1.02. An error occurs when PKZIP has finished 
it's job with zipping a number of files. I get the message 'out of memory' 
when I want to start any program under 4DOS. A few internal functions of
4DOS still function though, one of them is memory, which gives the following
interesting result:

     655,360 bytes total RAM
   1,048,320 bytes free

         512 bytes total environment
          42 bytes free

       2,512 bytes total alias
       1,077 bytes free

       2,048 bytes total history

Under COMMAND.COM I got the message 'Fout bij toewijzen geheugen' ('Error to
assign memory'), and the next line is 'Command kan niet gestart worden' 
('Command cannot be started').
The result of this is a neccessary reboot.
By the way, I had the same problems with PKZIP 1.10.
What is going on?

I am using 4DOS, Tulip MsDOS 3.30, Tulip AT compact computer, PCSA 3.0 
(also known as 'VMSservices for MsDOS' or 'LANworks for DOS'), PKZIP 1.02 or 
1.10, PC-VAULT 4.3.
