I wanted to compile some sample programs from PDC:sample with DICE. The programs are Pi.c and fahr.c All I get is some error message, I don't understand, and there appears to be no math.lib or m.lib in the distribution to add to the command line. There are a few other little problems, like the archive won't fit on a single floppy when unzoo'd, and that the bin files don't have the pure bit set when I unzood it. I was hoping for a "complete" distributable package. I'll keep my $40 for now, Matt. I can't use it as-is. -Ed Berger eb15@andrew.cmu.edu

Zoo always, to the best of my knowledge, sets the identical protection on all "-extracted" files. Makes sense when you think about it, since zoo is a multi-platform archiver, but there is no standard for the semantics of a particular protection bit from VMS to Unix to MS-DOS to AmigaDOS to ..., so some real disasters could happen if the protection bits were blindly copied.
