ZOO was written with portability in mind... One thing we do need is a standard way of passing compressed archives around. I want to be able to create the archive once and simply drop it on any machine and open it up with no hassles (and I want a SUN4 for Christmas:-}). Right now we have Arc, Zoo, atob+shar, and pdTAR+compress. (others?) Atleast ZOO appears to be going in the right direction. -phil ============================================================================== Phillip (Flip) Lindsay - Wake up and watch CNN at: Heather Ridge Apts. #G-115 UUCP: {ihnp4|seismo|caip}!cbmvax!phillip Mantua, NJ 08051 No warranty is implied or otherwise given in the form of suggestion or example.
