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.

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. dan -- dr. dan davison/dept. of biochemical and biophysical sciences/univ. of Houston/4800 Calhoun/Houston,TX 77054-5500/davison@uh.edu/DAVISON@UHOU "Without the voice of reason, every faith is its own curse" -- Sting Disclaimer: As always, I speak only for myself, and, usually, only to myself.

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.
