Here is an answer to many inquiries about where to get zoo. The
ms-dos version of zoo was posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc a few weeks
ago. It will be posted again in another few weeks, since many people
seemed to have missed it.
The portable C version was posted to comp.sources.unix around February
1989. It should therefore be available from any archive site that
saves comp.sources.unix. Look in the introductory postings in
comp.sources.unix for information about these archive sites--there are
several of them.
SIMTEL-20 also has zoo sources in a ZOO subdirectory. Files from there
are available not only by ftp, but also through several mail servers on
BITNET. (You can request files from these BITNET mail servers even if
you are yourself not on BITNET, since there are gateways between BITNET
and the Internet.) Information about these has been posted often in
the comp.*.ibm.pc newsgroups.
Finally, if all else fails, send $10 in US funds, payable to Judy

Specify either standard 360 K IBM PC format floppy disks or 1.2 M IBM
AT format floppy disks. The disk(s) you will get back will include:
- the zoo C source, which is ready to compile under 4.3BSD, System V,
Xenix, Microport System V/AT, MS-DOS (Turbo C 1.0), and VAX/VMS
- zoo executable for AmigaDOS, MS-DOS, VAX/VMS, and Atari/ST
- booz extract-only program C source
- booz executable for CP/M
- support utilities for MS-DOS including looz (list/extract/execute from
zoo archives), stuff (find files based on conditions for archiving),
sez (create self-extracting zoo archives), atoz (convert any other
format to zoo)
