I am trying to install GeoTime from /amiga/fish/ff164/GeoTime.zoo from uxe.cso.uiuc.edu. However, from all indications, I need to use Zoo 2.0 in order use it. This is where I am encountering problems. I have gotten Zoo 2.0 in zoo format, but I am unable to get 1.42 to unload the new version of Zoo. On the amiga, Zoo keeps on complaining that the checksum is bad and the file is corrupted. The system is a Amiga 500 running VT100 2.6, and I am using Kermit to transfer the files. On the host system, I have transferred everything using binary mode in FTP. What am I doing wrong? Is there a version of Zoo 2.0 in arc format that I can FTP? (I seem to have better luck with files in arc format!) I have a bunch of programs in zoo format that I would very much like to use. thanks! Lincoln Ong gg.lso@Forsythe.Stanford.EDU

Here's what I have in my host unix .kermrc set file type binary set file name literal set parity even Good luck -- Roger Nelson rdnelson@phoenix.princeton.edu

There is an arced 2.0 version of zoo availible from f.ms.uky.edu in /pub/amiga/Utils. I just recently downloaded it, and it works fine. Hope this will help you out. "Too new to Unix to have a .sig"
