ARCFIX

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

Important

• 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.

Program names

• Windows: ARCFXW32.EXE

Syntax

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.
