[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga Zoo 2.0

skeppeljones@dahlia.waterloo.edu (Steve Keppel-Jones) (12/05/88)

Does anyone know why Zoo 2.0 will not work with FFS devices?  Is there
another version that will?  As far as I know this is the only program that
chokes on the difference between the two filing systems.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance,
Steve

you say that ZOO v2.0 doesn't work with ffs - seems to work ok for me.  i've
got a 1000 with a Cltd SCSI interface, a big FFS partition and a little
OFS partition.  i haven't noticed any difference in operation, except speed.

Zoo works just fine with the release version of FFS. It had problems on the
beta, gamma, omega, <whatever> prereleases, apparently due to a problem
with the Manx scdir() function.
