Unfortunately, that version is a bit out-of-date vis-a-vis the MSDOS version. It doesn't handle the -r and -p toggles. Worse, it uses -p for something else (list to stdout). So it's still true that zoo is the only archiver with source available that handles directory hierarchies semi-reasonably. Russ Herman INTERNET: rwh@me.utoronto.ca UUCP: ..uunet!utai!me!rwh

I just download it and compile and test-run it. Please try 'lharc a filename */*' 'lharc a filename */*/*' ... */*/*/*... add as many levels as you wish. You will find out it works as beautiful as 'ZOO' and the compressed file posses 1/3 less space than 'ZOO' scheme. > >Russ Herman >INTERNET: rwh@me.utoronto.ca UUCP: ..uunet!utai!me!rwh
