In the System Variables list at the bottom of the dialog, locate the following
variables and adjust the values if needed.
DECOMP_LOG_FSPEC
: the path and file name of the decompression service log
file. The administrative user must have write-permission for this file. The format
of this name must follow the usual pattern: <drive:>\<path>\<filename>.<ext>
(neither <filename> nor <ext> may contain a period).
DECOMP_LOG_FILE_MBYTES
: the maximum size permitted for the decompression
service log-file (default is 1MB); when this limit is reached, the old log-file is
renamed and a new one is created. The last 10 files are retained.
DECOMP_WATCH_DIR
: the root-directory of the directory tree that will be
monitored by the decompression service (default is c:\). This value should be
changed to reflect the folder that is receiving compressed images.
The format of this name must follow the usual pattern: <drive:>\<path>[\]
DECOMP_DELAY_MS
: the number of milliseconds that the service will wait after
detecting a compressed file before beginning the decompression process (default is
50ms).
