[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] How do I zoo?

pdel@ADS.COM (Peter Delevoryas) (02/13/91)

Howdy, I'm having a problem unarchiving files, hope someone can help.
I've been downloading .arc files from terminator with no problem, so
decided to move up to .zoo stuff to prove I'm a real man. 

Well, I've yet to prove my manliness. I'm using the zoo archiver that
comes with starter.tos
Here's what I'm doing:

1. - double click on the zoo.ttp application
2. - Command line appears waiting for me to pass a command
3. - I type ' zoo -extract filename.zoo filename ', like it
     says to in zoo.man
4. - It thinks for a few seconds and then takes me to a kind
     of help screen showing the available commands, and also
     that I should type ' zoo h ' to get help.
5. - When I type ' zoo h ' it goes back to item 4. above.

6. - What am I doing wrong? I've tried a few other things, including
     putting the .zoo file in the same directory as the zoo.ttp program,
     as well as specifying pathnames, ie., ' zoo -x d:\filename.zoo d:\file-
     name, but still it takes me to item 4.

7. - If there are any men out there who can help, I would be most grateful
     and will mention your names among people of high honor.

8. - Please no flame-mail about being sexist, if you are female I welcome
     your help too.
