SYMPTOMS
========

If a package is run on a Macintosh client using PCMMAC and the command line
contains a space character, error 43 occurs. The following are some examples of
this error message:

- Error -43 in file CPACKAGE.CPP line 531 FNFERR. File not found. Invalid
  package command line.

- Error -43 in file CTABLE.CPP line 198 FNFERR. File not found.

- Error -43 in file CPACKAGE.CPP line 526 FNFERR. File not found. Invalid
  package command line.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, enclose the command line in quotation marks in the
package properties. For example, if the command line is

     SMS Installer

Replace it with:

     "SMS Installer"
