Ignore my last message. I solved the problem and will post my findings on the net. I just got a TeX font Zoo file installed after much trouble. I thought I would post what I discovered just to inform other users new to zoo. The command line needed to extract a propery formed zoo file and restore the file structure is 'e// filename'. The catch is this will not work from GEM! You must be in a CLI for this to work. In addition, this will not work from MWC msh. The MWC msh does not understand / as a directory seperator. Msh will only work if the files were put together using \. Since a lot of zoo files (TeX in particular) come from UNIX msh fails to work. On the bright side, gulam does work. So, to sum things up, to dezoo and restore the file tree type zoo.ttp e// filename.zoo from gulam. On a side note, I think it would be nice if someone could get a program that will dezoo with e// as the argument automatically. My idea is to have a program which can be installed to run when a .zoo file is double clicked on. This should create the directory tree in the directory where the zoo file was located. You might also want O set automatically too. If the owner wants to send me the source I will work on this. dav
