ZOO Q Can anyone e-mail or respond with a reason why the -restore option on zoo replies with "x command not available" and x// also doesn't work. Am trying to unzoo the modula.zoo. Thanks -Spieu!

You should do the following: 1. cd <directory_you want_to_have_the_modula-2_system_extracted> 2. zoo x//. <zoo_file_with_modula-2_system> Rainer Klute ---- klute@trillian.irb.informatik.uni-dortmund.de Univ.

It's the first time I post something to the newsgroup. I hope, that it will work. - restore does not work. That is right. But in the documentation you can see, that it is possible to use the command "x//" instead. I do not know if this is the right syntax. But I used it yesterday and it worked. So if "x//" does not work, try "x/", "/x" or something like this. Hope that this helps S. Goller (goller@gmdzi.uucp)

I do not know if this is the right syntax. But >I used it yesterday and it worked. So if "x//" does not work, try >"x/", "/x" or something like this. Not quite. Also in the zoo documentation you can read that the modifier '.' (dot) upon extraction from a zoo archive forces the files/directories to be created relative to the *current directory*. This modifier *must* be given if you want to unzoo the Modula-2 system! The reason is that the file names in this zoo archive are stored as absolute path expressions (\<filename>) and not as relative ones (.\<filename>). Today I know how to achieve the latter variant but when I created modula.zoo I did not. I hope that this makes thinks a little bit more clear. And one last note: I do want to encourage you to read the zoo documentation carefully! Rainer Klute ---- klute@trillian.irb.informatik.uni-dortmund.de Univ.
