Since they are >both ~650K they won't both fit on the same floppy (or in memory). As long as de-zooing doesn't require outrageous amounts of ram, you should be able to do something like this. Copy Zoo to RAM:, then put a blank, formatted disk in DF1:. CD to DF1:, then replace your boot floppy in DF0: with the disk containing the zoo file. Type "ram:zoo e// df0:analycal.zoo", and the files should de-archive onto the blank floppy which is your current directory. That's assuming that the zoo program doesn't need any libraries that aren't already in memory; it may end up asking for Workbench again to get such libraries. But in general, this can work for most any de-archive procedure, assuming the files all fit on one floppy. If not, you can do the same thing, only ask for them a few at a time. >Dave Small; EE Dept, UBC; 2356 Main Mall; Vancouver, BC; V6T 1W5 Canada >daves@ee.ubc.ca uunet!ubc-cs!ee.ubc.ca!daves -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Systems Engineering) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy Too much of everything is just enough
