A few questions:
- Where do you get ZOO? Is it posted from time to time?
- Who wrote it? Who maintains it?
- Is it documented?

Hello outthere! I was wondering if somebody could mail me two programs called sez, looz. These was mentioned in one of the files that was sent with ZOO v2.0 wich was posted on the net a while ago. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------ - Jocke Fredriksson - - Swedish Univerisity of Agricultural Sciences - - Dpt of Operational Efficiency - - S-770 73 Garpenberg - - SWEDEN - - Internet: joakimf@sluga.se Tel:46/225/22100 - ------------------------------------------------------

With what I will have to unzoo it? How about reading the files posted regularly by Bill on comp.binaries.ibm.pc?? *From the post with subject: Starter Kit, v1.5 UseNet CBIP Starter's Kit This kit contains what you will need to begin downloading files from comp.binaries.ibm.pc. This kit contains: 1) Instructions 2) BASIC source to create UUDECODE.COM 3) DEBUG script to create UUDECODE.COM 4) C source for UUDECODE 5) LOOZ 2.12, ZOO extractor, in uuencoded form You will need: 1) GW-BASIC or DEBUG (from MS-DOS) 2) File editor *And from the post with subject: About archives and archivers ZOO FILES ZOO.EXE is an archiving program that is similar to PKPAK, but non-compatible. ZOO can produce archives with long pathnames in them (directory names as well as the file name) and it can store comments about each file. If you want to take apart a ZOO archive, you will need a copy of ZOO.EXE. Since it is a program in development, it's hard to say what its file name will be when you read this, but searching for ZOO*.* should turn up the correct file. When this article was written the current version of ZOO was ZOO201.EXE, which may be found in the PD1:<MSDOS.ZOO> directory. The zoo syntax for file extraction is: "A>zoo e file" You do not need to supply the ZOO file type when specifying "file." -- Mike Castle (Nexus) S087891@UMRVMA.UMR.EDU (preferred) | XEDIT: Emacs mcastle@mcs213k.cs.umr.edu (unix mail-YEACH!)| on a REAL Life is like a clock: You can work constantly, and be right | operating all the time, or not work at all, and be right twice a day. | system. :->
