There is a bug in zoo 2.0 for MS-DOS, posted recently to
comp.binaries.ibm.pc. I'm holding off distributing source code until
it is fixed, and will distribute a binary maintenance release for
MS-DOS soon. The bug is related to the handling of multiple
generations, so unless you are using multiple generations, it should
not affect you.
The bug may be observed with the following commands. "--" begins a
comment. Go to an empty subdirectory first.
touch a b c -- or create files a, b, and c manually
zoo a+ junk a b c -- add them to archive, enabling generations
zoo gAl=3 junk -- change archive generation limit 3
zoo a junk a b c -- add generation 2 of a, b, and c
zoo a junk a b c -- add generation 3 of a, b, and c
zoo l junk -- get archive listing
This will list a;1 and a;3 in the archive but not a;2. The correct
behavior is to list all three generations.
