[net.games.hack] David and Zoos, **Slight Spoiler**

Well, my login name is not "david", and I got a zoo while not playing 
*Wizard*, so I looked at the code for the definitive answer:

If you are a *Wizard* then 2/3 of all levels contain shops, and the
remaining third contain zoos.

If not a *Wizard* then there is a 200/level% chance that a level from 2 to
19 will have a shop.  If the level does not have a shop, and the level is
greater than 6 (no top limit) then there will be a zoo 1/7 of the time unless
your name is "david", in which case all levels without shops greater than
level 6 have zoos.
