Does anyone have a program that will compress a TOS directory so that all the directory entries for the files lie at the start of the directory ? I know that the reorder option of Neodesk 3 does this but I would like a program I can use from a CLI to do the same job (to cut down on having to quit back to Neodesk).

Sure? I know there are -backup and -restore, but that one is new
to me. Anyway, it would be great to make this a standard feature
of zoo.

Make sure you use a version of zoo that recognizes either the atari or mwc long command line conventions and in gulam 'set env_style mw'. cheers, -- bang: uunet!cadence!bammi jwahar r. bammi domain: bammi@cadence.com GEnie: J.Bammi CIS: 71515,155

I tried this last night and it did not work (zoo complained). Do you have a
newer version?

There have been a couple of answers to this question already, but I am not sure that they answered the question that was asked. The way I read the question, there is another easy answer: Simply use the desktop to drag the files to another directory, removed the files from the first directory, and then drage the files back.
