I just noticed after pulling off the anarkey2 pieces from the pc binaries newsgroup that the archive file is a ZOO file, which doesn't do me a hill of beans. Yes, I know about ZOO, but haven't done anything about it because the BBS world uses ARC and ZIP library utilities. Posting something for the PC world using ZOO isn't going to do alot of people any good. Having to support two protocols is bad enough, I don't (as a SYSOP) want to support a third. Because of that I don't have the tools to extract any of the stuff in the ANARKEY2.ZOO file. I want to use this program, but can't. If someone could extract the stuff from this ZOO archive and get it reposted, or sent to me, in a ARC or ZIP archive, it will be appreciated. -- harvard\ att!nicmad\ Vidiot ucbvax!uwvax..........!astroatc!brown rutgers/ decvax!nicmad/ ARPA/INTERNET: brown%astroatc.UUCP@spool.cs.wisc.edu

Please post all of these recent postings again in arc or zip format, zip does save more space. I have several postings I can't do a thing with. Craig Thompson

If you wish to communicate with non-dos systems, put up with the problems. For my own part, I do not wish to use arc or pkzip or pkarc or lharc, but I have them for the off chance its the only format available. Please, do *NOT* repost this material. Thank you.
