The zoo utility, distributed recently, is a very useful tool with many features missed before. However, I miss one feature in zoo which arc does provide, and which I found very useful. With arc, when extracting an archive, I can specify the drive and the directory where the files are to be saved, e.g arc x my_archive a:\my_dir\*.* if all files are to be extracted or arc x my_archive a:\my_dir\my_file The path contained in the name of the file to be extracted is used as destination dir. I could not find this feature in zoo. Instead, i found an harmless error when extracting files with zoo. When I specified (on the commandline) a specific file which does not exist in the archive, zoo seems to run in a loop forever. Does anyone no a solution for my problem? I think, on a system without harddisk the normal way is (especially with big archives) to keep the archive in a ramdisk and extract to the floppydisk.
