[bionet.software] Zoo source code wanted

JRR@NRCCAD.NRC.CA (09/20/90)

I received program ZOO from the EMBL server, but it does not work on our
VAX (VMS 5.1). It seems that we have to re-compile it, but unfortunately
we do not have the  source code. We need this program urgently to de-archive
all the  others, so any help on getting the source code of ZOO (VMS version)
will be very much appreciated.

Not needed.  The ZOO from the EMBL File Server and UH Gene-Server work
fine under VMS 5.X.   It is a direct port from the Unix program; you
do not know how to set up "foreign" commands in DCL, you are not going
to be able to run the program.  I just pulled the copy off the UH
server, uudecoded it, and typed "run zoo" and got:

<DBD.SERVER> run zoo
Usage: zoo {acDelLPTuUvx}[acdEfInMNoOpPquz1:/.] archive file ("zoo h"
for help)

Novice usage:  zoo -cmd archive[.zoo] file...  where -cmd is one of these:
-add -extract -move -test -print -delete -list -update -freshen -comment
<DBD.SERVER>


So all appears to be well.  Set it up as a foreign command, though, to
unZOO other files.

I ran a /PDDIR <msdos.zoo> on the Danish Trickle server. It 
looks like the source codes are available for ZOO. ( I know 
that the original request was for VMS... but since ZOO is an 
archiver that covers MSDOS, VMS, and UNIX worlds I expect the 
source can be hacked to suit your taste. )... and anyway there 
was nothing in the <MISC.VAX> directory.

I will get the source and pass it on to Don, Dan, and Rainer
Here is the info for those of you how can not wait. Instructions for 
running TRICKLE can be found on NETSERV@EMBL
