[dba-Tech] Cab files and "out of memory"

Hi all

Some virus protected mail servers now strip attached zip files.

Realizing that an alternative to zip is needed, I have tried
using the cab format which has the advantage that Win2000+ opens it
natively. But some receivers experience that Windows claims "out of
memory" when they try to open the archive.

Has anyone else seen this?

I've read this:

which indicates that it could have something to do with not using LHA
compression ...
