I recently decided to try out flushot+. It was running while I
tried to extract some recent zoo files. Every zoo tried to extract a .com
file, flushot+ barfed and zoo was halted. When I rebooted without
flushot+, zoo worked fine. Is there an incompatibility between these two
programs?

Just one way it checks to make sure that no virusing is going on. You can disable flushot+ by pressing the ALT key three times before doing the extraction. Typing 'G' to skip the error and continue the current disk write halts ZOO, but this is the only archiver I can think of that has this problem. Gene from the home office in Oklahoma City

What versions of zoo and flushot+ are you using? Please include that
information when giving bug reports. Maybe you don't have the latest
version.

This is explained in the manual.
