The 'e//' option of zoo will re-create the I think Dpat is supposed to have two patterns. zoo e// pattern is only one. I attemted to do the job with spat some time back. I came accross two problems . 1) Spat doesn't like a second word (i.e. e//) between the command and the file. Solution: Alias zoo e// to one word. DO leave a space at the end though. I'm not sure why that is neccessary but it is. 2) Spat always puts quotes arround the path name. Zoo cannot handle quotes arround the path name. Solution: Remove the offending quotes from a copy of spat. They are the inner sets of quotes in the lformat line.
