I'm new to this group (and pc's in general; been on Sparc), so this is probably a rather silly question. I have acquired a couple of programs from the archives at wuarchive.wustl.edu which have the extension ".zoo". What does this extension mean? How do I extract the programs? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Reply via email or post to this group, whichever you prefer. Many thanks!

It runs portably in DOS, UNIX, VMS, AmigaDOS, etc. It has been posted to sources.misc as v2.01, but v2.10 is in beta and scheduled to be available to all within a few weeks. zoo v2.01 is some years old and was competitive with the systems of that time. The new version is competitive with current compressors, within a percent of arj and lha, a few percent better than zip (all based on original file size). -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) GE Corp R&D Center, Information Systems Operation, tech support group Moderator comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 386-users digest.
