Today I retrieved from a Fish archive, deZooed, and reZooed certain files of the BallyIII arcade game equivalent. Test case results are: Before compression via Zoo: -rw-r--r-- 1 smith 91340 Sep 19 12:05 BallyIII and after Zoo: -rw-r--r-- 1 smith 121658 Sep 19 12:05 b.zoo the command used to zoo it together was: zoo a b.zoo BallyIII The zoo version was 2.01 I believe on UNIX 4.3, VAX780. I hadn't expected this result... =========================================================== ...uunet!mimsy!nrl-aic!hengeema!smith / ^^^^^^^^ Russ Smith - a.k.a. | \ |--- Amiga! smith@aic.nrl.navy.mil

(don't use their name, just their number). On fish 310 (?), UUCP 1.00 and Mon are on the one disk. Why does UUCP.zoo take about 924K? Wouldn't be a little difficult to fit it and other stuff on one disk? Just wondering, Ian P.S. Thanks a lot to the guys at mrcnext, I couldn't live without your archives. o Ian Rowlands | (Funny quote - open to suggestions) Dept. of Electrical Engineering | University of Melbourne | also new alternative address to 7/90 Email :- ianr@mullian.ee.mu.oz.au | ianr@munmurra.cs.mu.oz.au

I was under the impression that zoo was a tool to collect things into an archive, not a compression tool. Was that wrong? Patrick Horgan phorgan@cup.portal.com
