ARCFIX

Use the ARCFIX utility to evaluate and, if necessary, attempt to repair archive files.

The ARCFIX utility should only be used by those who understand archive well because of the risk of data loss.
Make sure you back up your archive files before you run this utility.

ARCFXW32 /I /A /F

Parameter	Description
/I	Enter the name of the CAR file.
/A	(Optional) Include this parameter to repair all files.
/F	(Optional) Include this parameter to fix the table of offsets.

Please note that:

Index files must be in current directory.
You must have the following files in the working directory:
- APPIDX.DFD
- ???.CAR (for example. ARCHIVE.CAR)

The ARCFIX utility first checks to see that each record in the CAR file has a corresponding APPIDX record and then deletes any extra APPIDX records.

If you use the /F parameter, the ARCFIX utility rebuilds the table of offsets at the end of the CAR file.
