After reading that very enticing article, I FTPed right over to the ssyx server and looked for it. Well, where is it? This Zoo thing seems (on paper) to be a much better archive utility than ARC 5.21 so I would love to get my hands on it and give it a try. If anyone has it, could they please do one of the following: 1)uuencode it and send it to me directly 2)send it to 35.1.1.43 (umich arcserver) 3)tell me where to find it myself Any help would be greatly appreciated. As ever, I am posting this for my friend Chris (who can read this newsgroup, but isn't allowed to post), so all comments should go to him at cmm1@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu. Thanks. Enjoy life, willi

I've looked everywhere for this elusive program and I still haven't been able to find it. Ideas anyone? Enjoy life, willi

I would like to put my voice behind using Zoo over ARC. I have been using Zoo/SEZ/Fiz on my Compaq at work and on the Unix system at school. (It compiled w/o a hitch on our Sun 3 with SunOS 3.2). I also use Zoo on my ST to transfer files to/from the Sun and so far, I have not seen any problems. I have been waiting to see a Zoo shell appear on the net for the ST, because I really like using the ARCshell. I'm going to check into getting Sez for my ST, since I would find it very useful. (BTW: SEZ is the program for producing Self-Extraction Zoo files and Fiz fixes corrupted ZOO archives as best as possible -- at least it lets you get past a corrupted entry). The biggest plus with Zoo is its preservation of directory structure and it's fast and just as efficient on storage (if not marginally better) than ARC. One point to note. Many of the PC BBSes seem to be using Phil Katz ZIP and UNZIP. Are those making their way to the ST as well? cheers, -c | Chip Roberson ARPANET: csrobe@cs.wm.edu | | Dept of Comp.

What's the story with ZOO? I cannot find a version of this
program that works on any of the .ZOO files I have. What is
the size of the version that works? What I have is ZOO.TTP
37646 bytes and is dated Aug 6 1989. I think it's real cute
that the ZOO program on panarthea is in ZOO format!
ZOO.TTP intsef says the version is 2.01STg.
Every time I use this ZOO program on archives I get from
panarthea or CIS or GENIE that are .ZOO files, I always
get errors in the ZOO headers and the thing says it can't
extract the files. Other binaries, such as ARC files
always work OK. I have tried three version of ZOO and BOOZ.
The latest file I'm working on is the GNUEMACS.ZOO recently
posted to the binaries group. Has anybody been able to
uudecode this and extract it? If so, what version of ZOO
did you need?

The problem was in the files themselves... If you are ftp'ing, make sure you use BINARY mode; when the ftp is complete, verify that the size of the file is the same size as on the server. ftp will modify the file during transfer unless you use binary mode. > -- > David Beckemeyer (david@bdt.UUCP) | "I'll forgive you Dad...
