Problem with shell function

[silla sanjeev kumar]

This is regarding the Shell function in VB4.0. I am executing this function to run a pkzip.exe version 2.04g. This works otherwise if executed from dos prompt. Also, works with shell function if the size of the file is small. In my example, i ran it for a file of size 130mb. It works fine but if ran for the size of file 660mb. After reaching 50% it just comes out of the utility and stops for reason unknown. I am unable to trace the bug. please let me know at the earliest as this is very critical for me.
Is shell used for small size application only??
Also, please let me know using VB4.0, is there any other powerful function other than shell?

Reply asap
Thanx and regards,
sanjeev
