Does anyone out there have a ZOO decoder for the mac? Or a way to convert ZOO to something I can use like BinHqx??? Or even a PC version that I can use (last resort). -- Johnathon Suker // This opinion and all others stated within are JSUKER@BONNIE.ICS.UCI.EDU// mine, and only mine! None of you can have them!

The ".zoo" format is the archive format used by the usenet comp.binaries.ibm.pc newsgroup. A simple decoder, "looz212.exe" by Rahul Dhesi, is included in uuencoded format in one of the monthly "Starter Kit" postings to c.b.i.p. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that ".zoo" is currently an MS-DOS-only phenomenon. -- Bill (johnston@minnie.me.udel.edu)

In Japan, zoo seems to be obsoleted. We use LHa, more compression ratio. Open format. Freeware. ... Anyway, I don't use MS-DOS :-> StuffIt Deluxe can treat .zoo files with "Other" menu.

I have seen TWO Shareware programs for the Mac that extract .zoo files.. one was called "MacBooz" and the other was "zoo-something" (I forgot the whole name) .. in addition, I beleave there is an UnStuffit Delux Module for un-zoo'ing ZOO files. I was really suprised I couldnt find ether of the two programs mentioned on ether sumex-aim.stanford.edu or mac.archive.umich.edu .. the files are about 3 years old, so that may be the reson.. but considering there are programs to extract .arc. .lzh, and .zip files, I dont see why .zoo has been given the shaft.. can anyone dig up those programs and put them on the two FTP sites mentioned?
