Cannot Pack Files

I am using PB 3.72
I cannot seem to pack files

CreatePack("xxx.exe")
AddPackFile("zzz.exe",5)

"xxx.exe" is always the same size as "zzz.exe."
What am I doing wrong?

are you compressing a file that's already compressed? For example a self extracting executable.

Does a compression level of 9 give better results?

You may also want to you "if" staments to test the success of the packing.

I have just upgraded to PB 3.79
It works fine. Fred mentions a fix for this problem in the upgrade notes.

3.79 is a little different though. I have to rewrite all the GUI's
and a few other things.
