There have been a couple of (unanswered, I think) questions lately about
how to use zoo.ttp to automatically archive subdirectories and to
automatically create subdirectories relative to the current directory
when unpacking files.
There are two so-called "novice" commands to do this. They are not
explained in the helpscreen that appears when you run "zoo h".
The commands are:
zoo -backup file.zoo *.*
This packs everything in the current directory and all relative
subdirectories, preserving the (relative) path information.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
zoo -restore file.zoo
This explodes an archive, creating any necessary subdirectories
relative to the current working directory.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm told that an early version of zoo fails to perform these operations
properly on the ST. The version I have that works includes the following
header. Check the date and time:
Zoo archiver, Version 2.01STg (1988/08/25 12:43:57)

Usage: zoo {acDeglLPTuUvx}[aAcCdEfInmMNoOpPqu1:/.@n] archive file
("zoo h" for help)
