This is a very cpio-ish option, you know. There is a port of UN*X find to the Amiga. It's very well done, every primary that makes sense with AmigaDOS is implemented. I use find for cpio, so I guess you could use it for Zoo, too. It came along on a Fish disk some time ago. Don't remember which, though. -- Lars Soltau UUCP: ...uunet!unido!sns!space BIX: -- no bucks -- Here's looking at you, kid! -- the Medusa

Hi, Being a complete novice to the Amiga, I have been looking at the relevant newsgroups and there is a fair amount of source that is in "zoo" format. As I said I am new to this so I could be wrong. If I am not though, could someone please tell me how I can decode this format to run it on my machine. -- Cheers, Peter Bishop. <pjb@tcom.stc.co.uk> || ...!mcvax!ukc!stc!pjb STC TNDD, Harlow Technical Centre, 20-22 Edinburgh Way, Harlow.

Does anyone out there know why zoo crashes when I try to unpack or list the contents of zoo files from my hardrive? I can unpack stuff fine on floppy, rad:, ram:, vd0:, but not supradrive! I am using a supra 5.01a software, and the ffs is mounted on both of my 30 meg partitions. I have a 512k hack, and 2 meg starboard. Zoo will guru the machine every timeI try to unpack something. Sometimes it will list the contents of a zoo file about halfway through, then crash. Thanks for any ideas! Greg Garner 501-442-4847 gmg@hcx.uucp USENET: ...!uunet!harris.cis.ksu.edu!hcx!gmg

The problem you describe sounds like you have a pre-release of 1.3's FFS which had a bug that showed up very well when running ZOO. Of course, there's no need to post that information since ONLY REGISTERED DEVELOPERS were supposed to have 1.3 and they all read about that bug in AmigaMail; and if your problem is caused by an out of date version of 1.3 then you are a developer and already know this... right?

I am also having this problem (crashing when unzooing on a FFS Hard disk). I have only the release version of 1.3 and FFS, but the problem still occurs. And keeping all else equal, the problem does not occur in RAM:, on Floppies, or in a SFS partition... (I'm using Zoo 2.00) The Guru number is usually either 3 or 4. So it is definately a bug somewhere... >(Sorry for shouting... it also might be that you don't have your stack >set large enough... :-) Even with a large stack, the problem still occurs... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chad 'The_Walrus' Netzer -> AmigaManiac++

If you own a Supra Hard Disk, get in touch with Supra Corp and get their latest drivers for the thing. There was a problem with the coexistance of their drivers and FFS.

Does anyone know where I can get the source for zoo on UNIX from an ftp site? Thanks.
