SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the FOLDCOMP -S command to run the folder compression utility to
compress and reset folder semaphore locks, the following error message may be
displayed:

  Checking file: .\000011a8.fld
  Please update your version of Foldcomp.

CAUSE
=====

This error is caused by a corrupted folder file (<xxxxxxxx>.FLD, where
<xxxxxxxx> is an eight-digit number). The folder displayed on the line
preceding the error is corrupted.

RESOLUTION
==========

If you rename the corrupted folder, the FOLDCOMP -S process will complete
successfully. Try restoring the <xxxxxxxx>.FLD file from a backup copy. If
a backup is not available, create a new folder. This new folder will be 129
bytes in size. Copy the new <xxxxxxxx>.FLD file to the
<xxxxxxxx>.FLD file that is corrupted.

For example, if the corrupted folder file is 000011A8.FLD and the new folder
created is 00000011.FLD, copy 00000011.FLD to 000011A8.FLD. You can now delete
the corrupted folder, as well as the new folder.
