I retrieved the SOZOBON compiler *.zoo files from the USA archive in
michigan. Since I don't have a un-zoo program, I retrieved that too.
I have a problem though. The sozobon files have directory names that
I want to keep. If I use the novice "zoo -extract" command, all of the
files are retrieved without pathname. I looked at the man pages and
tried the followin command:
zoo {x}[//] d:\term\download\sozobon1.zoo
But zoo doesn't understand and just give me the usage line. Would someone
tell me the proper zoo command and flags needed to retrieve zoo files with
their original pathnames.
Thanks.
BTW is anyone interested in the information that I received about modem
control status. I'll be glad to post the mail that I got.

Hmm, well, you should not actually type the braces and brackets. They are metasymbols meaning you *must* type one of the characters in the braces and you *may* take one (or more) from those in brackets. You should try the command: zoo x// d:\term\download\sozobon1.zoo -- Dipl.-Inform. Rainer Klute klute@irb.informatik.uni-dortmund.de Univ.

The TOS 1.0 desktop converts all TTP parameters to uppercase. So, instead of zoo seeing a -x option, it sees -X which it doesn't understand.
